Anthropic CEO outlines plan to ‘pace the frontier’
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposes slowing frontier AI development, unilaterally committing to embedded third-party evaluators like METR and international safety coordination.
Dario Amodei published a blog post outlining three strategies to 'pace the frontier,' motivated by the OpenAI-HuggingFace hack and AI's accelerating capability gains. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to embedded third-party evaluators such as METR, giving them badges, desks, laptops, and access mostly comparable to internal risk teams. Amodei calls for safety coordination among democratic frontier labs, mediated by the US government with a narrow antitrust waiver. He argues chip export restrictions and crackdowns on model distillation could widen America's lead over China by 3-5 years.
