Anthropic and OpenAI need independent safety evaluators, experts say
Over 100 AI experts have formed a coalition to demand independent safety oversight for frontier AI models. They are calling for standardized, transparent, and objective testing protocols to hold companies like Anthropic and OpenAI accountable.
Why it matters
As AI capabilities advance rapidly, the lack of standardized, independent safety testing poses significant risks to public safety and national security.
Over 100 artificial intelligence experts and evaluators are banding together to warn they won't have the necessary resources and protections to test the safety of AI technology, which is facing heightened scrutiny due to concerns from insiders about the potential dangers of frontier models.
"We're just trying to really demonstrate a shared common ground on basic principles and ensure that independent oversight can be a meaningful tool for managing AI risk broadly," said Conrad Stosz, chair of the AI Evaluator Forum consortium that organized the letter, in an interview.
