## A call to the competition
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is asking rival AI companies to agree on shared safety measures rather than each setting its own bar.
## Bring in third-party evaluators
His specific ask: let outside evaluators test AI systems. The people building the models would no longer be the only ones judging them.

> third-party evaluators
## Safety as a group project
Amodei framed safeguards as something the industry should pursue together, not a race where caution costs you the lead.

> encouraged the artificial intelligence industry to come together in the pursuit of safeguards
## Said on the record
He made the case in an interview with CBS News, taking an internal industry debate to a mainstream audience.
## Airing September 13
The full interview runs on CBS Sunday Morning on Sept. 13.
## Why the ask matters
An agreement only works if competitors sign on. One company inviting scrutiny changes little; all of them doing it changes the standard.
## Key takeaway

Amodei is pushing the AI industry toward outside safety review instead of self-assessment.
