Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has proposed a new strategy to slow the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, echoing calls for a more measured approach from other tech leaders.

Amodei suggests ‘embedded evaluators’ from third-party organizations to ensure safety commitments are met, and calls for coordination among AI companies within democratic countries to establish common safety standards.

While his words may soothe some anxious tech enthusiasts, critics argue that his proposals are merely a means to capture regulation for his own benefit, a claim Amodei dismisses as a crisis of trust.

Amodei remains optimistic about AI’s potential to improve human life, but warns that careful pacing is crucial to avoid disaster. The debate over AI’s future, however, remains far from settled.
