AI needs a 'brake pedal', warns Anthropic co-founder
Summary
Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark warns that AI is advancing so rapidly it could soon develop without human control, and he calls for a regulatory 'brake pedal' (a way to slow or pause AI progress) to keep society in control of these increasingly powerful systems. He notes that Anthropic's Claude chatbot already writes 80% of its own code, and reaching 100% is possible within two years, which would have major implications for society.
