We believe that all frontier AI companies should embed evaluators to independently assess AI risks, including evaluating the systems themselves and any significant incidents of real-world harm, as well as the companies’ training, deployment, oversight, operational, and safeguard practices. [...] Frontier AI companies should grant embedded evaluators access equivalent to that of their own highly privileged employees for the purposes of their evaluations, and with exceptions to protect sensitive data belonging to the company’s customers and other third parties. This includes access to the same relevant systems, data, tools, and physical spaces as those available to senior internal company employees responsible for carrying out comparable risk assessments, as well as candid and direct one-on-one communication with relevant staff.
