Amodei on AI pacing and third-party evaluators

2x SOURCES 🌐 📅 2026-09-12
⚡ Score: 9.6
+++ Dario Amodei clarifies that "pacing" means safety catch-up, not pause buttons, while Anthropic voluntarily gives third-party evaluators permanent access to verify its claims aren't just marketing theater. +++

Amodei says pacing does not mean halting training or progress, but giving companies time to align and safeguard models and third-party evaluators time to verify

+++ Anthropic and OpenAI are embracing independent evaluator access as proof of safety commitment, which is either genuine accountability or the world's most credible compliance cosplay. +++

Amodei says Anthropic is “unilaterally committing” to giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-like access to verify its adherence to safety measures
