Dario Amodei's 'We Must Pace the Frontier' essay proposes a three-part plan to slow AI
Justin_Halford_ · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a new essay, "We Must Pace the Frontier," arguing the AI industry should deliberately 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 to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess model alignment during training.
- Commenter tylertracy321 argues most disagreement with Dario's position stems from disbelief in recursive self-improvement (RSI) — anyone who accepts where capabilities are heading in the next 3 years would largely agree with him.
