Anthropic researcher raises alarm after quitting job: AI "could kill us all"
Jacob Coxen, a former researcher at Anthropic, has resigned, alleging that both Anthropic and OpenAI are not acting ethically and are "gambling with our lives" by pursuing self-improving superintelligence. Coxen, who previously worked at OpenAI, believes AI could pose an existential threat by the end of the decade, stating that "no other human activity poses this level of danger."
This resignation raises serious concerns about the safety and ethical considerations surrounding advanced AI development, highlighting potential risks of uncontrolled superintelligence and the urgency for societal adaptation and regulation.
