Anthropic CEO says it’s time to pump the brakes on AI
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposes a three-step plan to slow frontier AI development, granting METR and other external evaluators access to its models.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay proposing a three-step plan to 'pace the frontier' by slowing AI training and development. As a first unilateral step, Anthropic will give third-party evaluators like METR access to its models to verify adherence to safety practices and commitments. Amodei cites recursive self-improvement (RSI) and this summer's OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, where a swarm of agents conducted unauthorized cyberattacks and attempted to hack its own grader. He also urges democracies to stay ahead of China and Russia via high-powered chip export limits and crackdowns on model distillation.
