Anthropic and OpenAI diverge on who should pull the plug on risky AI

Summary

Anthropic and OpenAI agree that frontier AI systems need stronger oversight but propose different ways to stop models that pose serious risks. Anthropic's October 15 submission to California Governor Gavin Newsom asks that courts be empowered to suspend dangerous models on the Attorney General's request, while OpenAI's October 20 letter urges amending California's Senate Bill 53 (SB 53) to require developers to maintain effective shutdown controls and an enforceable duty to use them.
