Anthropic, OpenAI and Musk endorse ‘pacing the frontier’ regulatory capture plan
↗
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI chief Sam Altman and Elon Musk outlined a three-point proposal, embedded evaluators, coordinated safety standards among democratic AI firms, and limited cooperation with authoritarian regimes, that they label ‘pacing the frontier’ to steer government oversight.
If adopted, the plan would give the largest AI labs a direct hand in shaping the rules that govern their technology, potentially slowing competition and influencing investor confidence. The vague coordination mechanisms and calls for legal support could make enforcement uneven, especially when dealing with authoritarian jurisdictions.
