Dario calls to pace the frontier as Anthropic grants third-party evaluators permanent access
connoraxiotes · x · 2026-09-12
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, 'We Must Pace the Frontier,' arguing the AI industry should slow down with a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to step one: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
The quoted essay by Anton Leicht frames the urgency: in one congressional recess, AI policy was shaken by dire expert warnings, autonomous hacking agent swarms, and a generational math breakthrough by an unreleased model. He proposes embedded independent oversight—voluntary today, executive action tomorrow, codified next Congress—and calls for embedded evaluators to become the industry standard.
