Dire warning that A.I. could end humanity
Jacob Coxon, a researcher at AI firm Anthropic, resigned and posted on social media that many in the AI field believe their creations could lead to humanity's extinction within ten years. Coxon, who previously worked at OpenAI, stated that neither company is acting responsibly and warned of superhuman systems capable of hacking anything and acquiring significant power. Another Anthropic researcher expressed a personal belief that AI could kill all humans with a greater than 10% chance within the decade.
The warning highlights a potential existential risk from advanced AI, raising concerns about the pace of development and the adequacy of safety measures within leading AI labs.
