.@Fathom_org is right. Bringing in independent evaluators is a real step. But a voluntary commitment can be dropped the second it gets inconvenient.
The FRONTIER Act makes safety and transparency the law, and puts independent auditors in place to hold frontier labs to it. A promise you can break isn’t a durable safeguard.
Fathom (@Fathom_org): This is a big deal. Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk are converging on something we’ve been pushing at Fathom: AI labs shouldn’t be the only ones judging whether their systems are safe.
Independent Verification Organizations, or IVOs, can provide that outside check.
