Dario Amodei calls to pace the frontier; Anthropic opens employee-level access for third-party evaluators
kevinsxu · x · 2026-09-13
Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems so they can verify safety-measure adherence, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.
Nathan Lambert, who runs a nonprofit, publicly volunteered as an independent evaluator, noting the role will be crucial and that few independent people have substantial technical expertise — positioning himself as representing a moderate camp on AI capabilities and risks.
