Independent review finds anthropic's AI progress accelerating despite ceo's calls for caution

An independent monitoring group, Model Evaluation and Threat Research, has reported that Anthropic is advancing its artificial intelligence systems at nearly double the speed compared to a year prior. This finding comes despite CEO Dario Amodei's previous public appeals for the AI industry to moderate its rate of development to allow safety protocols to keep pace. Model Evaluation and Threat Research conducted its assessment by reviewing Anthropic's internal data and interviewing personnel. The group suggested that the AI technology itself is a major contributor to this rapid development. The company is also preparing for a major initial public offering later this month. These findings are notable because much of the information regarding AI technology and its associated risks has historically been provided by the companies themselves, which have operated under self-policing guidelines encouraged by the administration of President Donald Trump. Amodei had previously urged the AI community to slow its progress in a September 12 essay.
