My prediction is by the end of 2028, it's more likely than not that we have an AI system where you would be able to say to it: 'Make a better version of yourself.' And it just goes off and does that completely autonomously. [...] What I'm looking at is a technological trend where, if anything, the speed will accelerate further. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Quote confirmed via web search as being from Jack Clark in an Axios interview (May 7, 2026, "Behind the Curtain: Intelligence explosion"). Multiple sources (TechRadar, Yahoo Tech, PJ Media, MindStudio, Axios's own X post) confirm the exact quote. Vote "for" the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" aligns with Clark's prediction of recursive self-improvement / intelligence explosion happening by end of 2028. WebFetch returned 403 but the source URL matches Axios's format. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 22d ago
