Market access for all AI models, including Chinese open-weight models, could be conditioned on passing these assessments.
Anthropic, which did not sign the industry’s letter, seems to want to target Chinese models while sparing open models generally.
But pre-deployment screening is precisely the condition China imposes on all AI models, including U.S. AI models.
The temptation for many U.S. policymakers will be to say Chinese open-weight models are too risky, while U.S. open AI models are not.
But any AI safety regime that works for domestic AI models should be good enough for foreign models, including those made by Chinese companies.
