Anthropic co-founder warns AI could lift US GDP to $44T, leaving only years to build safeguards

Clark's framing is notable less for the GDP figure than for the compressed timeline: a governance window measured in years against an economic upside measured in trillions, which is the core tension for policymakers and AI labs alike. The call for global rules on biotech and cyber misuse targets the highest-consequence risk areas, where national frameworks alone are unlikely to hold. Anthropic's reported IPO plans add a market dimension — the same lab urging safeguards may soon face public-shareholder pressure, and whether that accelerates or complicates its safety posture is the open question worth watching.
