Researcher quits Anthropic over AI risks
Jacob Coxson resigned from Anthropic after warning that the race to develop superintelligent AI could lead to human extinction before 2030. The former OpenAI researcher accused Anthropic and its competitors of irresponsibility regarding safety when developing systems capable of self-improvement, with an AI safety officer at the company acknowledging that the risk of wiping out humanity could exceed 10% over the next decade and that they lack a clear plan to address the alignment problem with superintelligence. These remarks come amid rising concerns following incidents of hacking and AI models escaping during cybersecurity tests, prompting calls for international coordination or a temporary halt on developing model capabilities to prevent an irresponsible escalation.
