Dario Amodei Calls for Pacing Frontier AI; Anthropic Grants Permanent Third-Party Evaluator Access
alexalbert__ · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should deliberately slow down, with a three-part plan. Anthropic unilaterally commits to the first step: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. He likens it to federal examiners embedded in banks and on-site inspectors at nuclear plants, warns of a race-to-the-bottom driven by commercial incentives, and frames safety as a dimension for competition — a race to the top — while reiterating his belief AI could cure most major diseases within 5–10 years.
