Leaders from top AI companies have publicly backed a proposal by Anthropic Chief Executive Dario Amodei to pace the development of frontier artificial intelligence models. The plan advocates for third party safety evaluators embedded within companies and unified safety benchmarks to prevent risks from emerging autonomous systems.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are holding early talks to form a joint safety coalition for testing advanced frontier models. The proposed group would work on shared benchmarks and evaluation standards before broad product releases.
