Today's Lawfare Daily is a @scalinglaws.bsky.social ep where @alanrozenshtein.com spoke with Cullen O'Keefe and @kevintfrazier.bsky.social about their paper which argues that AI systems can automate many regulatory compliance tasks, loosening the trade-off between safety and innovation in AI policy.

I agree that AI isn't really the issue hereβ€”it's really whether the current licensing requirements for lawyers, doctors, etc. are at the right level or are instead too restrictive in ways that hurt consumers. That's a complex question.

Unconditional surrender: neither unconditional nor surrender. Talk amongst yourselves!

I may have been too hasty here (in which case apologies): if the bill is limited to output that would qualify as unauthorized practice of law/medicine/etc., that would be much more legally defensible. Whether that's good policy or instead rent-seeking guild protection is a separate question, though.

Seems plausible. @kevintfrazier.bsky.social and I predicted this in a (ironically) law review forthcoming later this year. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Banger of a crossover episode today between @scaling_laws
and "AI Summer" with @deanwb.bsky.social and @binarybits.bsky.social on the Anthropic/OpenAI/Pentagon situation (note that we recorded this on Wed. before DOD designated Anthropic a supply chain risk). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

To clarify, I’m referring to the First Amendment rights of individuals (β€œlisteners” as the doctrine calls them) to access information.

Anthropic is so dangerous it needs to be labeled a supply chain risk and obliterated. But wait, actually it's so critical that maybe the government needs to force it to sell its services to the government.

The Situation: Stand With Anthropic You might not like the creator of Claude, but its fight with Pete Hegseth is important for the rule of law.

"What the government can do, merely by dint of being the government, is scare the crap out of investors and enterprise clients of a company like Anthropic."

@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and @alanrozenshtein.com discuss the importance of the fight between Anthropic and the Pentagon.

OpenAI's DoD Contract Does Not Protect the Red Lines It Says It Does - LASST The question is whether the contract language actually delivers what OpenAI says it does. Based on the limited contract text that OpenAI has made available, we have significant reservations.

This is actually how I expect the DOD-Anthropic standoff to end: with some unfavorable court rulings against the government and then a quiet retreat some months down the line.

Pentagon’s Anthropic Designation Won’t Survive First Contact with Legal System This is designation as political theater: a show of force that will not stick.

On Feb. 27, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth designated Anthropicβ€”the maker of the AI model Claudeβ€”a supply chain risk to national security. Michael Endrias and @alanrozenshtein.com explain what this designation does and the legal challenges it will likely face.
