Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, went on a media blitz this week with a message that should make anyone paying attention uncomfortable: the AI industry has built itself a very fast car with no way to slow down.
In appearances on BBC Newsnight and CNN on June 5, Clark delivered a blunt metaphor for where things stand.
“Right now, it’s like the AI industry has a gas pedal, but it doesn’t have a brake pedal.”
Claude is already doing most of the work
Anthropic’s own AI model, Claude, currently handles 80% of the company’s coding tasks. Clark indicated that figure could reach 100% within the next couple of years.
