Jack Clark
Cofondateur d’Anthropic et auteur de la lettre Import AI, il dit au Congrès et à ses auditoires qu’une IA puissante est à quelques années, qu’elle comporte une probabilité non nulle de tuer tout le monde et qu’il faut une pédale de frein coordonnée avant qu’elle ne s’améliore elle-même.

The AI industry right now has a gas pedal, but it doesn't have a brake pedal in the car, and we want to do some of the work to build that pedal.

Said to CNN; Euronews carries the words verbatim. Anthropic reported more than 80% of code merged into its codebase was written by Claude.

We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up.

We have not ever encountered a technology that has this property, where it can make a better version of itself without people.

TIME reports he said AI posed a "non-zero" chance of killing everybody on the planet and predicted recursive self-improvement by 2028; day of the lecture not confirmed.

We are growing extremely powerful systems that we do not fully understand.

25 juin 2025 · Audition · US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party
Winning the race is a necessary but not sufficient achievement - we have to get safety right. … I believe that powerful AI could be buildable by late 2026 or early 2027.
Co-founder and Head of Policy, Anthropic à l’époque
Also told the committee that AI systems "can carry out actions which are not intended by their creators".
