Anthropic’s Jared Kaplan warns humanity must decide on AI autonomy by 2030
Summary
Anthropic chief scientist Jared Kaplan told The Guardian, in comments reported by Indian media, that humanity faces a critical choice by around 2030 on whether to allow AI systems to train and improve themselves autonomously, potentially triggering an "intelligence explosion" or a loss of human control. Kaplan also predicted that many blue‑collar jobs and even school‑level cognitive tasks could be overtaken by AI within two to three years, urging governments and society to confront the trade‑offs of super‑powerful AI while there is still time to set governance boundaries.
