Debate over Anthropic safety evals: Accenture vs METR independence questioned
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-20
Gary Marcus amplified a thread on the independence of Anthropic's safety evaluations. The argument: Accenture is more culturally independent from Anthropic but less independent in terms of incentives — METR is a nonprofit whose mission requires transparency even when findings hurt its partner, while Accenture is a business that wants its clients happy. The debate reflects broader scrutiny of vendor-commissioned safety evals.
