Amodei, Altman and Musk converge on independent safety audits as FRONTIER Act pushes them into law

Fathom notes that Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk are converging on one idea: frontier labs shouldn't be the only ones judging whether their systems are safe — Independent Verification Organizations (IVOs) should provide an outside check.
Rep. Lori Trahan adds that voluntary commitments can be dropped the moment they become inconvenient; her FRONTIER Act would make safety and transparency legally binding with independent auditors. "A promise you can break isn't a durable safeguard."
