More than 100 AI experts, including Geoffrey Hinton, have signed a letter urging independent oversight of top AI companies, with evaluators to review systems and safety practices. Anthropic and OpenAI have pledged to allow third-party evaluators inside, and the AI Evaluator Forum organized the letter. Experts argue companies shouldn't grade their own homework on catastrophic risks. Signatories warn of undisclosed loss-of-control incidents and call for international treaty-based regulation, similar to nuclear weapons oversight, to ensure independent verification and market access.
