Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark told the BBC that mechanisms to shut off dangerous AI models are 'the kind of thing society might want to eventually pass rules around,' arguing the industry needs third-party-verifiable kill switches rather than lab-controlled 'pull the plug' options. The comments land days after CEO Dario Amodei's call to pace the AI frontier.
