Do NDAs for frontier AI info reduce transparency? Debate over embedded evaluators
EigenGender · x · 2026-11-06
A debate on AI lab confidentiality culture: @EigenGender argues it's reasonable for people to trade NDAs for sensitive information—including details that could shift AGI timelines—even if it prevents them from stating high-resolution public views. Others counter that a strong norm against disclosure would make the ecosystem less transparent and reduce access for embedded evaluators inside labs. The thread probes the tension between frontier-lab information transparency and third-party oversight.
