Anthropic announced on Friday that it has chosen Accenture as an embedded evaluator, marking its first concrete step toward implementing CEO Dario Amodei's proposal to slow down the pace of artificial intelligence development. Both companies have committed to investing at least $1 billion over the next five years to build capacity in this area, with Anthropic directly funding Accenture's work due to the urgency. This follows Amodei's three-step plan published last Saturday, which grants third-party evaluators employee-level access to verify safety practices and report incidents.
