Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark will deliver the Per Jacobsson Foundation Lecture at the IMF conference in Thailand, titled 'Inside the Event Horizon: Why Everyone Should Take AI Progress Seriously,' with a live stream available.
His core argument: advancing AI capabilities are catalyzing a period of massive, sudden change. The lecture will tackle the economic implications — accelerating scientific discovery, robotics progress, the autonomy and economic impact of machine-driven businesses, and possibly AI contributing to its own production via recursive self-improvement. A panel follows with India's Chief Economic Advisor V. Anantha Nageswaran and Peking University's Yan Shen, moderated by Raghuram Rajan.
