“Right now, it’s like the AI industry has a gas pedal, but it
doesn’t have a brake pedal in the car. And what we’re saying is
we want to build that brake pedal so we in the world have an
option. In the future, you might say: ‘Let’s get all of the
benefits we can for, say, biology and medical research, and let’s
take a pause on AI research, where we can absorb the societal
changes.’” Faisal Islam speaks to Jack Clark, co-founder of
Anthropic, one of the companies at the forefront of the
artificial intelligence revolution and the maker of the Claude
chatbot. Jack says AI systems are becoming dramatically more
capable, changing how work happens even inside Anthropic itself.
He argues that artificial intelligence could accelerate
scientific discovery, reshape industries and transform economies.
But he also warns that increasingly powerful AI systems will
require new forms of oversight and control. As these technologies
become more capable, he argues that governments and society need
mechanisms to slow development if it moves too far, too fast. The
