Summary
Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei called for the AI industry to slow its development pace and proposed a three-part plan to do so. As part of this plan, Anthropic committed to giving third-party evaluators (independent outside experts) permanent access to their AI systems so these evaluators can check that safety measures are being followed, report problems, and assess how well the AI models behave during training.
Solution / Mitigation
Anthropic proposed providing third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to their systems to verify adherence to safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models' alignment during training.
