In response to a researcher's resignation and warnings, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay titled 'We Must Pace the Frontier.' He proposed slowing down AI capability advances to allow safety work to catch up and suggested embedding independent evaluators within AI labs.
“Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published an essay called "We Must Pace the Frontier," calling for slower capability advances so safety work on AI can catch up.”
“His plan starts with independent evaluators being actually embedded inside labs, and then coordination on safety standards and limits on unchecked progress among companies in democratic countries.”
“Amodei says outside reviewers will be embedded now at the company, and they should receive ongoing access comparable to internal risk teams and be able to publish findings without Anthropic's editorial control, subject to narrow restrictions on sensitive information.”
