Anthropic Grants METR Employee-Level Access for Independent AI Safety Evaluation
Anthropic has granted six employees from the nonprofit evaluator METR employee-level access to its internal AI systems, hardware, and office space to independently assess safety practices and risks. METR can publish findings without prior approval, except for limited redactions involving customer data, privileged information, and model architecture. This move aims to enhance external scrutiny of AI safety amid concerns about labs controlling access and publication. Anthropic is also collaborating with other evaluators like SecureBio and Faculty to advance responsible AI development.
