METR researcher Beth Barnes clarified a key term in its proposal for upcoming loss-of-control assessments: companies may approve which staff METR speaks with, as long as the approvals are transparent; private interviews with approved staff on in-scope topics are still required. She notes other safety-critical industries typically have stronger provisions preventing companies from blocking staff from freely sharing information with assessors.
