Anthropic CEO Amodei calls to pace AI frontier, not halt it, via embedded evaluators and coordination
↗
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed a three-step plan to slow AI development, clarifying that pacing means giving companies time to align and safeguard models and third-party evaluators time to verify, not halting progress.
Amodei's proposal reframes the AI safety debate from a binary halt-versus-accelerate choice to a structured slowdown with specific mechanisms. If adopted, it would create new evaluation and coordination requirements for teams building frontier models, reshaping competitive dynamics and compliance obligations across the industry.

Amodei proposed a three-step plan: embedded evaluators, coordination among democracies, and global coordination with authoritarian governments.
He clarified that pacing does not mean halting training or progress, but giving companies time to align and safeguard models and third-party evaluators time to verify.
The OpenAI-Hugging Face hack reportedly helped convince Amodei that AI development needs to slow down.
