Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, has published a policy essay outlining a five-area agenda to pace the development and deployment of advanced AI systems. The essay, titled Policy on the AI Exponential, moves beyond general calls for AI safety to propose specific policy areas such as frontier-model testing, employment effects, civil liberties, management of downstream technologies, and international coordination among democracies.

Amodei argues that the pace of AI development is outstripping the ability of public policy to respond, creating a gap between accelerating AI capabilities and institutions designed for slower-moving technological change. The proposed FAA-like model for regulating frontier models, mandatory third-party testing, and government authority to block deployments that fail safety checks are some of the most concrete elements of the proposed agenda.
