Dario Amodei’s Anthropic and Sam Altman’s OpenAI were in talks earlier this year on a deal to stress-test each other’s AI models for potential safety flaws, according to a report. They began negotiations on a “legally binding deal” before high-profile incidents such as OpenAI’s accidental hack of rival firm Hugging Face occurred, The Information reported Monday, citing a person with direct knowledge of the talks. Lawyers for the AI giants were drawing up the terms of the deal, which would have involved each company subjecting the other’s new models to a battery of tests aimed at finding flaws or other “hidden dangers,” the report said.
