Anthropic Cofounder Builds Parental AI Guardrails
6.1
Jack Clark, Anthropic cofounder and head of policy, told The Ezra Klein Show he limits his toddler's screen time and blocks "unfettered" access to the YouTube algorithm. He said AI systems will require "pretty heavy parental controls" as children attempt to reach services intended for ages 18 and up, urging stronger age gating. Clark tied his views to personal experience and other tech leaders' practices.
