Anthropic commits to safety standards for frontier AI
For readers interested in AI safety, this is a concrete step from a major US lab showing how they plan to address alignment and safety concerns in frontier AI development.
Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei wrote an essay calling for the AI industry to slow down. The company is unilaterally committing to the first of his three-part plan: giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures and model alignment during training.
Dario's essay points towards the right path forward. The details need working through, but the direction is correct for meeting this critical moment. This is also why we recently put out our proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. x.com/demishassabis/… Dario Amodei @DarioAmodei We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
