CEO at Anthropic
The right place to start is with transparency legislation, which essentially tries to require that every frontier AI company engage in [safety and transparency] practices. California's SB 53 and New York's RAISE Act are examples of this kind of legislation, which Anthropic supported and which have successfully passed. [...] The hope is that transparency legislation will give a better sense over time of how likely or severe autonomy risks are shaping up to be, as well as the nature of these risks and how best to prevent them.

Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority

Verification History

AI Verified Checked all dimensions. Year: 2026 (current; essay published Feb 2026). Author: Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO — quote is from his essay "The Adolescence of Technology" and matches Anthropic's documented support for frontier-AI transparency laws. Vote alignment: statement "Mandate 72-hour reporting of critical AI safety incidents to a national authority" with a "for" vote is a sound directional match — Amodei advocates starting with transparency legislation that requires every frontier AI company to follow safety/transparency practices, citing California's SB 53 and New York's RAISE Act (both of which mandate reporting of critical AI safety incidents) as legislation Anthropic supported. The quoted passage is general transparency advocacy rather than a literal endorsement of a specific 72-hour federal reporting window, but the directional support for mandated incident reporting is clearly consistent. Source: direct fetch of darioamodei.com returns HTTP 403 to automated requests, but an independent web search confirmed the transparency-legislation passage (SB 53, RAISE Act, "which Anthropic supported and which have successfully passed") on this exact essay, confirming the source contains the quote. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 11d ago
