Anthropic's Amodei proposes embedded evaluators to verify frontier AI pacing

Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier" argues that the AI industry should slow down and outlines a three-part plan.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first step, giving third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to verify safety adherence, report incidents, and assess alignment during training.

The author compares this to federal bank examiners and full-time nuclear plant inspectors, and calls it a practical first step.
