What happened
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the time has come to slow down AI development, according to an essay reported by The Verge.
Amodei proposed a three-step plan to 'pace the frontier,' which he described as a way to slow the pace of development.
He also said Anthropic will give third-party evaluators such as METR access to its models to help ensure adherence to safety practices and commitments.
Why it matters
The stance is notable coming from the head of a leading AI developer, suggesting that at least some industry figures now favor restraint over speed.
Granting outside evaluators access could set an example for how AI companies demonstrate safety commitments to the public and regulators.
