Role at the time: AI safety researcher
Statement summary
On September 12, Evan Hubinger agreed with Dario Amodei’s call to pace frontier AI while saying that development had become too fast to keep safe.
“I agree with Dario. If we are to survive, we must pace the frontier. The speed of development is quickly becoming too fast for us to keep safe.”
Direct X post by Evan Hubinger. The post itself is the evidence; reply content and engagement figures were not used as evidence.
Hubinger supports pacing while criticizing the current pace not expressly regarding Anthropic’s conduct.
Role at the time: Anthropic alignment researcher; personal public assessment, not a formal corporate response.
Response to this claim
Evan Hubinger said Anthropic is trying its best but does not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and is not clearly on track to do so.
“I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.”
Primary response by Anthropic’s Alignment Science Lead. Hubinger agrees with Coxon about the severity of potential future risk, credits Anthropic’s effort, and explicitly concedes the lack of a demonstrated alignment solution. His follow-up distinguishes present-model risk from future superintelligence risk.
He directly qualifies Coxon’s criticism rather than rejecting the underlying danger or unresolved alignment problem.
