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 unilaterally commits to the first step: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. Industry figures like Scott Wu (Cognition) endorsed it.
