- OpenAI and Anthropic staff felt blindsided by Dario Amodei's and Sam Altman's public calls to slow frontier AI development, according to Financial Times sources.
- Some staff at both companies fear that AI evaluators involved in implementing the slowdown may compromise security, and employees are grappling with how to turn slowdown rhetoric into operational reality.
Why it matters: A gap between CEO-level public commitments to slow frontier AI and internal staff buy-in undermines the operational viability of those pledges — if employees don't understand or trust the evaluator process, self-imposed slowdowns may not hold up inside the labs making them.
