Jack Clark is a co-founder of Anthropic and serves as its head of policy.[1]

Clark worked at OpenAI from 2016 to 2020, doing strategy and communications and becoming policy director. He was previously a reporter at Bloomberg News. He maintains a newsletter called "Import AI".[2] Clark is co-chair of Stanford's AI index (an organization that publishes yearly reports on the state of AI progress), and of the OECD's working group for classifying and defining AI systems.[3]

In 2023, Clark gave a briefing at the first United Nations Security Council meeting on AI’s threats to global peace, where he argued for "developing ways to test for capabilities, misuses and potential safety flaws" of AI systems, and encouraged global action.[4] In 2024, he pushed back against claims that AI progress was slowing, and warned that most people are not prepared for its pace.[5]
