AI needs brake pedal: Anthropic’s Jack Clark warns AI could soon build itself, says ‘I am worried for my kids’
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark has warned that artificial intelligence is accelerating towards a threshold at which it will be capable of developing more advanced versions of itself without human involvement, calling on governments to build regulatory mechanisms that could slow the technology’s progression before that moment arrives.
The remarks, made in separate interviews with BBC Newsnight and Axios, is one of the most direct public warnings from within the AI industry about the pace and direction of its own development.
