# Anthropic recommends a US AI policy agenda to OSTP [Canonical reading](https://escapemeridian.com/readings/anthropic-recommends-a-us-ai-policy-agenda-to-ostp-ce29f695) Anthropic published these recommendations on March 6, 2025, in response to the White House’s request for an AI Action Plan. The company argues that the United States should act to maintain technological leadership while preparing for powerful AI systems, which it expects to emerge in late 2026 or early 2027. That is Anthropic’s forecast, not a reported outcome. Anthropic proposes government testing of domestic and foreign models, tighter semiconductor export restrictions, stronger security links between AI labs and intelligence agencies, and an additional 50 gigawatts of dedicated power by 2027. It also recommends surveying government workflows for possible AI use and improving economic data collection to prepare for potential large-scale changes. These proposals connect national security and infrastructure policy with Anthropic’s aim of broadly sharing AI’s economic benefits while enabling innovation and mitigating serious risks. The page points to a full submission for further detail and implementation strategies, but the evidence here does not include that submission or establish how the proposed policies would work in practice.

The reading attributes the forecast and recommendations to Anthropic and labels the 2026/2027 forecast as Anthropic's, not an outcome. > Anthropic has submitted recommendations to the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) summary — uncertain: The central term "powerful AI systems" is used without explanation, and no definition is supplied. The source gives it a striking meaning: Nobel-level ability across most fields and autonomous work over hours to weeks. Without that, readers cannot judge the force of the forecast. The reading also omits the source's cited evidence: Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Claude Code and other labs' systems. The title uses "OSTP" without expanding it. Smallest repair: add one sentence giving the source's description of powerful AI and its cited evidence, and spell out the Office of Science and Technology Policy. > Intellectual capabilities matching or exceeding that of Nobel Prize winners across most disciplines date — pass: March 6, 2025 matches the UTC day of originalPublished. The forecast of late 2026 or early 2027 is reported as Anthropic's forecast, with no hindsight framing. The page was edited in October 2026, but the reading's content matches a text internally consistent with early 2025, including the recently released Claude 3.7 Sonnet. The evidence is a publisher page, so no archive disclosure is needed. > our recently-released Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code demonstrate significant capability improvements support — pass: Each recommendation the reading lists appears in the source: testing, export controls, lab security, 50 GW by 2027, a government workflow inventory and economic data. The limitations correctly note that the full submission is absent and that no effects are demonstrated. The question is open and not leading. The page was edited after publication, but the cited passages read as part of the original March 2025 post. > we recommend modernizing mechanisms for economic data collection, like the Census Bureau's surveys media — pass: No media was selected and none was supplied or verified, so no media identity or relevance issue arises. ## Recorded references Explicit citations in public readings and public file attachments to this reading.
