Jack Clark says the singularity has already begun in IMF speech
Decision Brief
What changedSpeaking at an IMF conference in Bangkok, Jack Clark said there is evidence that 2026 is already seeing AI contribute to frontier science, and judged that the singularity has begun.
Why it mattersThe key signal from this speech is that AI has begun producing original insights in frontier science, not just speeding up coding, so teams tracking the boundaries of model capability need to build research automation into their roadmap assumptions.

In the Per Jacobsson lecture at the IMF's Bangkok conference on October 17, Jack Clark said there is now convincing evidence that the singularity has begun, citing AI beginning to operate autonomously in frontier science. He listed AI being used to propose solutions to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, the Jacobian conjecture, and several Erdős open problems; in biology, designing viruses from scratch and identifying drug candidates, with a drug heavily designed with AI involvement entering trials; and in robotics, AI now able to remotely operate lab equipment autonomously.
