On September 13, OpenAI founder Sam Altman said, "I agree with Dario Amodei (Anthropic's CEO) that we need to control the progress of frontier models. This has been a major topic of discussion at OpenAI recently. Committing to give independent evaluators employee-like access is a good idea, and we'll do that too. We'll have more to share soon."
Earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long essay arguing the industry has to slow the pace at which it pushes AI models forward. Slowing down doesn't mean stopping model training or technological progress — it means making sure companies have enough time to work on alignment and safeguard their models.
Amodei also proposed that frontier AI companies in democracies coordinate and set shared safety standards.
