Amodei calls for AI industry to slow down; Anthropic grants evaluators permanent access
_sholtodouglas · x · 2026-09-12
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, We Must Pace the Frontier, arguing the AI industry should slow frontier development and laying out a three-part plan.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems, so they can verify adherence to safety measures, report incidents, and assess model alignment during training.
A rare voluntary slowdown call from the head of a frontier lab as recursive self-improvement nears — drawing wide industry reaction.
