Amodei's Frontier Pacing Plan Faces Politics, Rivals, and China

Dario Amodei's essay "We Must Pace the Frontier" proposes slowing capability gains, starting with independent evaluators inside AI companies and extending to international coordination including China.

Rivals Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis expressed support, and OpenAI said it would allow independent evaluators inside. The author argues the plan still has important flaws, and that Trump and Xi Jinping hold the decisive say on any slowdown.
