Elon Musk backs Dario Amodei's arguments about pacing the frontier, saying "Dario is right" (Ben Johansen/Politico)

Elon Musk endorsed Dario Amodei’s call to “pace the frontier,” supporting Amodei’s three-step plan: embed independent evaluators with employee-level access, coordinate safeguards among democratic nations, and extend coordination to authoritarian governments. Sam Altman echoed the proposal, announcing OpenAI will adopt the evaluator framework, while executives at three major U.S. AI labs have publicly urged a slowdown in advanced AI development.
