Anthropic co‑founder calls for a ‘brake pedal’ on AI, advises youth to adopt hobbies

An Anthropic co‑founder has urged the introduction of a “brake pedal” for artificial intelligence. He argued that unchecked AI development could outpace societal safeguards. The co‑founder suggested that regulatory mechanisms are needed to slow AI deployment when necessary. He also told young people they can stay ahead of rapid AI change. His advice was to cultivate a hobby outside of technology. Engaging in non‑digital activities, he said, builds resilience and perspective. The remarks were made in an interview with India Today. He emphasized that balanced development and personal habits can mitigate AI‑related pressures.
