EthanJPerez · x · 2026-09-12
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should slow down 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 models' alignment during training.
- OpenAI researcher Aidan McLau amplified it, saying he agrees with "basically every word."
A first-of-its-kind verifiable external oversight pledge from a frontier lab, set against an accelerating race.
