What I'm looking at is a technological trend where, if anything, the speed will accelerate further. [...] 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.AI Verified source (May 7, 2026)

The quote implies support for the statement: the author predicts accelerating AI progress and an autonomous system that can 'make a better version of yourself,' which is a clear recursive self-improvement scenario. That strongly suggests the author believes advanced AI/AGI could quickly escalate into far more capable, potentially superintelligent systems.

The quote predicts accelerating progress and an AI that could "make a better version of yourself" autonomously, but it does not explicitly mention AGI or say this would lead to superintelligence.

The supplied Axios article dated May 7, 2026 contains both passages and attributes them to Jack Clark: the first sentence appears in the 'Why it matters' section and the second appears two lines later, with the omitted middle text between them. The source URL, author, and date all match the stored record. ([axios.com](https://www.axios.com/2026/05/07/anthropic-jack-clark-ai-intelligence-explosion))

Disputed
Axios’s May 7, 2026 article does attribute both relevant statements to Jack Clark, and the source URL contains them. But it does not contain them as one verbatim quote in the order submitted: the article places the sentence ending with “accelerate further” before the later sentence about telling an AI to “make a better version of yourself.” That makes the submitted text a reordered composite rather than a verbatim quotation as written.

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.
