Frontier AI auditing (covering both safety and security) is both urgently needed and doable, and can help avoid extreme concentration of power, since it introduces external oversight into the decision-making of people with a 'country of geniuses in a datacenter' at their disposal.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified. WebFetch on the Substack URL returned HTTP 403, but a targeted web search confirmed the quote ("Frontier AI auditing (covering both safety and security) is both urgently needed and doable, and can help avoid extreme concentration of power, since it introduces external oversight into the decision-making of people with a 'country of geniuses in a datacenter' at their disposal") matches Miles Brundage's post "We're in Triage Mode for AI Policy" at the exact source URL. Author attribution is correct (Miles Brundage, founder/Executive Director of AVERI, the AI Verification Initiative, and former OpenAI Head of Policy Research). The quote is directly on-topic for the statement "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" and clearly expresses support for it. Note: no vote is currently associated with this quote (vote is null); given the quote's content a "for" vote would be the natural alignment, but there is no existing vote to correct. Year 2026 matches. Source URL is the author's own primary source. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 19d ago
