AI researcher says there is 'substantial probability' AI could kill all humans in next decade
Former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon stated in an interview with NBC News that there is a substantial probability AI could cause human extinction within the next decade. Coxon, who resigned from Anthropic, expressed that many individuals building AI genuinely believe in this risk, citing concerns over the speed of AI development and potential for AI to cause catastrophic events like novel viruses or cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. He believes the current race between companies to develop AI first, without adequate regulation, is leading to a dangerous situation.
The unchecked acceleration of AI development by competing companies poses an existential threat to humanity, as the very creators acknowledge the potential for catastrophic outcomes they cannot fully control.
