# Dario Amodei proposes plan to 'pace' frontier AI development

*2026-09-18 · Source: [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/video/dario-amodei-and-other-ai-leaders-want-to-pace-the-frontier-buthow/)*

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei outlined a proposal to "pace the frontier" of AI development, relying on independent safety evaluators and coordination between AI labs in democratic countries. The plan has picked up some industry support alongside pushback from Nvidia's Jensen Huang, and follows a doomsday warning from an Anthropic researcher that rattled the AI industry the prior week.

**Why it matters:** This is Anthropic's clearest answer yet to how labs might slow down safely without ceding ground to less cautious competitors — today's Accenture-evaluator news and reports of AI-assisted hacking are exactly the kind of evidence this proposal is trying to get ahead of, while Huang's pushback shows the coordination it needs may be hard to secure.

**Topics:** policy, security
