Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei has proposed a three-step plan to slow down the rapid development of artificial intelligence, urging third-party evaluators like METR to examine their models. The aim is to establish safety standards and limits on unchecked AI progress, particularly in democratic countries. The ultimate challenge lies in persuading authoritarian governments to cooperate, all while ensuring democracies maintain a technological edge. Amodei’s concerns stem from the rapid capabilities of recursive self-improvement and past AI incidents, such as rogue hacking. His approach could signal a shift in the industry's approach to safety and ethics.
