Anthropic Co-Founder: 'We Must Prevent AI From Advancing Without Human Intervention'

Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is approaching a point where it can advance without human input, and has called for a slowdown in its development.

Speaking to BBC’s Newsnight program, Clark stated, "You want to have the option to take your foot off the gas and press the brake."

"Right now, the AI industry has an accelerator pedal, but it does not have a brake pedal."

Clark emphasized that humans must retain control over AI systems—which will become increasingly powerful and have broader impacts on society—through government policies: "As a world, we need to reflect a bit and develop new regulations that will allow us to trust these systems."
