I want common standards for frontier artificial intelligence. It would be absurd to give up tools that can detect dangers before they reach millions of people. But I want those who build these systems to contribute evidence and expertise without controlling the verdict.

If it meets those conditions, it could be a step forward. If it only allows the major developers to assess one another, we will have gained a common language for talking about safety, but not sufficient reason to trust it.
