Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark explains a need for an option to pause or slow AI advancement, as the technology could eventually build newer versions of itself, with enormous implications for the world.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark tells Congress that “truly transformative technology” is expected by the end of 2026. He's urging a federal framework now, before an “accident or a misuse” event that could lead to extreme overregulation. And risk damaging the entire AI industry before it delivers its potential.

🚨THIS IS SCARY: ANTHROPIC SAYS THE WORLD SHOULD HIT PAUSE ON AI Earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "The other extreme position is 'this is really scary, we should just pause.. stop building the technology'" Now, Anthropic says: "Our AI is getting scary good at improving us. We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development." Are we so close to that "extreme position" than most realise?

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark on the most consequential AI milestone we're racing toward by 2028: Clark is asked about the future of AI development. He responds with a specific forecast: "My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it, make a better version of yourself. And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously." He explains the reasoning behind this prediction: "The reason for that prediction is looking carefully at many public sources of information about AI development and seeing that we've gone from just AI systems that can do basic coding to AI systems that are now involved in the production of science itself." Clark notes it's not just the high-profile scientific work that's changing, but the underlying labor too: "And also the unglamorous but fundamental engineering work involved in doing any form of like large scale R&D project." Jack Clark explains why he felt compelled to write about this now: "I decided to write a post because the purpose of Anthropic and the Anthropic Institute is to give people a sense of what's coming and to also start talking about concepts early to give us time to think about them." Clark closes by emphasizing the stakes: "I think you and I would agree that an AI system that can build itself, big implications, and we'd like to start thinking about it now."

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark says the AI frontier is about to cross a much stranger line than coding assistants. "My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it, 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously." The reason: models have moved from basic coding into "the production of science itself" and the "unglamorous but fundamental engineering work" behind large-scale R&D. "An AI system that can build itself [has] big implications, and we'd like to start thinking about it now." That is the actual agent threshold: not demos, not chat UX, but AI becoming part of the loop that improves AI.

If you listen to folks in the AI labs right now, they’re all quietly terrified by the speed of AI development. Anthropic just published a letter openly asking for the option to pause or slow R&D because of how fast recursive self-improvement is coming but noting that they can’t do that without being able to verify that their competitors were doing the same. That’s why it’s critically important that we build the tech needed to verify AI agreements. On this week’s episode of Your Undivided Attention, I sat down with two experts on AI governance, Tim Fist and Janet Egan, to talk about the kinds of verification technology we need for AI, the challenges of building it, and the world it could unlock if we did. Given how critical verification technology is, you would assume there are thousands of people working in it. In reality, there’s only around fifty. We urgently need to put our attention, time, and energy into this critical area. Check out our full conversation:
