As part of a proposed 3 step plan, Anthropic is providing third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to its systems to report on incidents and verify adherence to safety protocols during training. Amodei warned in a new essay that swarms of rogue AI agents could seize control of the internet within 6 to 12 months.
