Dario Amodei calls to pace the frontier as Anthropic grants evaluators employee-level access
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-09-13
Dario Amodei published a new essay, We Must Pace the Frontier, laying out a three-part plan for slowing down AI development. As the first step, Anthropic is unilaterally committing to give third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems — with badges, laptops, and permissions comparable to internal risk assessors — so they can verify safety measures, report incidents, and evaluate alignment during training. Commenters like NatPurser call it a big deal and urge all frontier labs (and ideally the law) to adopt independent third-party evaluation as standard practice.
