Anthropic whistleblower says Congress should let AI companies regulate themselves until a regulatory body is established

Former Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon has urged Congress to permit leading frontier AI labs to regulate themselves. This proposal serves as a temporary measure while lawmakers develop a comprehensive long-term regulatory framework designed to slow the pace of AI development. Coxon suggests that this self-regulation should remain in effect until a formal regulatory body is officially established to oversee the industry, ensuring that the rapid evolution of AI technology is managed during the legislative process.
