Anthropic CEO Calls for AI Industry to Slow Down, Proposes Three-Part Safety Plan
Dario Amodei says his company will unilaterally grant third-party evaluators access to its systems as part of a broader push to pace AI development.
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of artificial intelligence company Anthropic, issued a public appeal on Saturday for the AI industry to "slow down," according to a post he shared on social media.
In the post, Amodei linked to an essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier," in which he outlined a three-part plan intended to moderate the pace of AI development, according to the source.
Amodei said Anthropic would "unilaterally" commit to the first step of the plan, which involves providing "third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access" to the company's AI systems, the essay stated.
According to the excerpt, this access would allow evaluators to "verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models' alignment during training."
The remaining components of the three-part plan were not detailed in the available excerpt.
