No, it's regulatory capture. Anthropic is the current leader and they want to ensure their position by forcing regulation to stamp out the Chinese competition.

How does this achieve that goal?

That's what's not clear to me. About the only way this works is if we create the "Great US firewall", or if china decides to also put in export controls around usage of their models (unlikely).

I would add "...especially considering this administration thinks AI regulation is a scam invented by Big China to slow down American innovators?"

> Anthropic is the current leader

How's that determined?

API usage? They are for sure leading in the enterprise world

API usage is a poor metric, but it's a metric, for sure.

I would not say Anthropic is leading in the enterprise, depending on how you define enterprise. It's leading in marketing, to be sure.

Ofc, my sample size is a few companies and all the developers I know.
