WASHINGTON (TNND) — Multiple former and current Anthropic researchers have been sounding the alarm bells about artificial intelligence, warning that the technology being developed can destroy humanity.
Former researcher at OpenAI, Jacob Coxon, said that the company is not acting responsibly with AI.
He alleged that both Open AI and Anthropic are “gambling with our lives.”
In the thread, Coxon called on fellow researchers to be thoughtful of the AI future.
Alignment Science lead at Anthropic AI, Evan Hubinger said that researchers believe that AI could kill all humans.
“Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!” he wrote on X. “I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.”
Over 1,300 employees at different AI companies signed a letter earlier this year and asked the U.S. government to support an effort to slow down AI development, according to The Hill newspaper.
