Scaling the independent AI eval ecosystem: diversify funding, don't gatekeep
sebkrier · x · 2026-09-13
Responding to Sriram Krishnan's call for a distributed ecosystem of independent AI evaluators, evaluator antondleicht argues the frontier-risk eval field grew from a tiny early community, and lab buy-in is now the demand signal to bring in wider talent and funding. His core warning: don't squander this rare window of trust through territorialism or shutting out "outsiders" — anchor the ecosystem in common standards, diversify funding and views on AI risk, and stay above reproach to keep public trust.
