The Ezra Klein Show: How Fast Will A.I. Agents Rip Through the Economy?

The “Hard Fork” team is off this week, taking a much-needed break. While we’re away, we wanted to draw your attention to a recent episode of “The Ezra Klein Show.”

In this conversation, Ezra speaks with Jack Clark, a co-founder of Anthropic, about how he is using A.I. agents; how the technology is leading to meaningful changes in the ways we work and think; and how policy can or must change to anticipate potential job displacement on the horizon.

We’ll be back with a new episode next week.

Guest:

• Jack Clark, a co-founder and the head of policy at Anthropic.
