SAN FRANCISCO -- AI models are rapidly improving - so fast that they may soon be able to develop themselves without human involvement. That's why Anthropic is warning the AI industry: It needs to build a "brake pedal," or companies risk losing control of ...

Jack Clark of Anthropic, which fought the Pentagon over the use of its technology, said AI may reach a point where it no longer needs humans. Clark told BBC Newsnight yesterday: ‘You want the option to be able to take your foot off the gas and put your foot on the brake.
