Gate News message, April 15 — Anthropic is opposing Illinois bill SB 3444, which is backed by OpenAI. The bill would shield AI labs from liability for large-scale harm caused by misuse of their models, provided they draft and publish their own safety frameworks. Sources familiar with the matter said Anthropic has urged state senator Bill Cunningham and other lawmakers to change or drop the bill.
Governor JB Pritzker’s office stated he does not support giving big tech a full shield from responsibility. OpenAI said the measure would reduce risk and support a harmonized approach to state AI rules. Critics, including Thomas Woodside of Secure AI Project, argued the bill could nearly eliminate existing common law liability.
Anthropic last week supported a separate Illinois bill that would require public safety plans and third-party audits for frontier AI developers.
