(Reuters) -A Republican proposal to block states from regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years is "too blunt," Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei wrote in a New York Times' opinion piece.

Amodei instead called for the White House and Congress to work together on a transparency standard for AI companies at a federal level, so that emerging risks are made clear to the people.
