safety testing

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated the company has not sought to ban open-weight AI models but advocates for mandatory safety testing of all capable AI systems before release. He emphasized the importance of testing to ensure safety without opposing open-weight models.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated he does not support a ban on open-weight AI models, rejecting claims his company seeks to protect its closed-model business. He advocated for tighter controls on advanced chips, distillation, and safety testing instead of a ban, as other companies like Nvidia and Microsoft support restrictions amid concerns over Chinese open-weight models like Kimi K3.
