Amodei proposes pacing AI development and embedded evaluators
Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei published a proposal to slow capability advances while improving safety, according to CNN’s September 12 report.[1]
His three-part framework calls for embedded third-party evaluators, coordination among companies in democracies, and international agreements. He says Anthropic is committing to the first step; the others require wider cooperation. He distinguishes pacing from stopping model training.[3]
The proposed evaluators would receive ongoing access comparable to employees and could publish findings, subject to limited confidentiality and security redactions. Amodei also advocates regulation and government assistance with legally sensitive industry coordination; these are proposals, not newly enacted requirements.[3]
On September 12, Clément Delangue announced the Open Alignment Initiative, led by Thomas Wolf at Hugging Face, and requested participation in the embedded-evaluator program. He argued for broader participation and transparency in alignment work; the announcement does not confirm acceptance into the program.[2]
