Dario Amodei calls on AI industry to slow down; Anthropic opens systems to third-party evaluators
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-13
Anthropic CEO 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: granting third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures, report incidents, and assess alignment during training. The essay drew pushback — Yi Ma questioned the motives of those who stoke AI fear and demand the world slow down while investing heavily and accelerating themselves.
