What on earth is an 'embedded evaluator'? One of the most important jobs in AI, according to frontier lab chiefs.
A hot job title, "embedded evaluator," has entered the AI space — and AI chiefs say these people will stand between humanity and the apocalypse.
AI experts are preparing to introduce embedded evaluators as a crucial role within frontier AI labs. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed the concept, emphasizing the need for independent AI auditors to scrutinize frontier models before they are released. These embedded evaluators would have employee-like access, including access badges and company laptops, enabling them to verify safety practices and report incidents without company editorial control.
Amodei's plan has garnered support from industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk. However, AI safety experts acknowledge that embedded evaluators alone are insufficient to prevent an AI apocalypse; they require binding requirements and external oversight to ensure objectivity.
