Following a researcher's resignation due to AI extinction fears, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed external organizations verify AI safety practices, report incidents, and assess models and training. OpenAI, Google, and SpaceXAI executives support this plan, making it a key part of the AI safety movement. However, Katie Moussouris of Luta Security views this as outsourcing, questioning the proposition of third-party audits as a solution, likening it to Microsoft avoiding internal development slowdowns by suggesting external solutions.
