Anthropic is set to offer its Claude chatbot to US lawmakers for a nominal fee of $1 per year, mirroring a similar move by OpenAI. This initiative aims to provide government branches with access to advanced AI tools. According to sources, Google is also considering offering its Gemini AI model on equally favorable terms. This follows increasing pressure from lawmakers to understand and regulate AI, and giving them hands-on access could facilitate more informed policymaking. The offers signal a strategic push by leading AI developers to engage with and influence the legislative process.
