Anthropic Is Racing Toward An IPO. Its Co-Founder Wants A Way To Slow AI Down, Says The Industry 'Doesn't Have A Brake Pedal'

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark warns that the AI industry lacks regulatory mechanisms to slow development, comparing it to having a gas pedal but no brake pedal. He notes that 80% of Anthropic's code now comes from Claude, raising questions about AI systems contributing to their own development. Anthropic is reportedly exploring an IPO that could value the company near $1 trillion.
