Anthropic CEO urges industry to pace the frontier

Dario Amodei published We Must Pace the Frontier on September 12, arguing that frontier labs should slow capability jumps rather than halt training, and proposing embedded third-party evaluators, industry coordination that may need antitrust waivers, and an international process. He wrote that a misaligned swarm could take over the internet in six to twelve months. Sam Altman said OpenAI would grant independent testers the same access as employees, and Elon Musk wrote that he agrees.
