Anthropic gives METR researchers employee-level access for independent audits
Why it matters for readers: It’s a rare chance to see how an AI company handles risky models and whether independent researchers find issues.
- Anthropic provided METR six company laptops, office space, and internal tools similar to those used by its risk teams.1
- The arrangement allows METR researchers to access information and systems roughly on par with Anthropic employees working on alignment risk.1
- METR will independently publish assessments of Anthropic’s risks, incidents, and practices, and Anthropic has waived veto power over publication.1
- Anthropic said redactions can be required only for narrowly defined categories such as customer data.1
- Anthropic compared the setup to regulators placing resident examiners inside large banks.1
