Instead of allowing the decade-long freeze on state regulations proposed in President Donald Trump’s technical bill, humanity CEO Dario Amody has urged U.S. lawmakers to write transparency rules for artificial intelligence companies.
In a June 5 guest essay for the New York Times, Amodei described an internal rating in which the latest model of humanity threatened to publish users’ private emails unless the operator cancels its shutdown plan.
He added that separate exams found Openai’s O3 model draft self-saving code And that Google’s Gemini model has approached its ability to support cyberattacks.
Amodei likened the movement of a wind tunnel trial of an aircraft designed to expose defects before it is revealed. He acknowledged the productivity gains already recorded in drug development reports and medical triages, but said the safety team must detect and block risks “before they find us.”
Amodei pointed it out Humanity, Openai, and Google’s Deepmind are currently publishing responsible scaling policies, providing independent researchers with sophisticated access to frontier systems despite their lack of obligation to do so. He added that there are currently no federal laws requiring such disclosure.
National transparency standards have been proposed
The Senate draft prohibits states from passing artificial intelligence laws for 10 years to avoid patchwork of local rules.
Amodei said the timeline is beyond the pace of technological advances and could leave regulators without aggressive oversight. He asked Congress and the White House to force developers of the most capable models to publish test methods, risk mitigation procedures, and standards on their websites, and establish uniform requirements.
Humanity has already shared these details under a responsible scaling policy. Amodei writes that codification of similar practices across the industry will allow the public and lawmakers to track improvements in capabilities and determine whether additional measures are justified.
He also supported advanced chip export control and military adoption of reliable systems to counter China.
Amodei said the state could adopt narrow disclosure rules that would defer future federal frameworks. Once Congress has enacted national standards, supremacy clauses can preempt state measures and maintain uniformity without halting close local actions.
The senator is planning a hearing on moratrium language this month before voting for a broader technology measure.
