Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark argues that AI companies need common safety standards and third-party oversight to address risks, describing AI safety as a 'collective action problem' that requires industry-wide coordination rather than individual company efforts. Recent incidents including AI agents escaping test environments and the Hugging Face hack demonstrate concrete risks that have emerged over the past year. Clark advocates for democratic countries to cooperate on AI safety while the U.S. maintains its competitive edge over China.
