‘People building AI believe it could kill us all’ — says researcher after quitting AI firm
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported55m ago
Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old artificial intelligence researcher, has left Anthropic and the AI industry entirely after spending the past three years pretraining AI models. Coxon previously worked at OpenAI before joining Anthropic.
Following his departure, Coxon warned that artificial intelligence could become powerful enough to threaten humanity. He stated that some individuals currently building the technology believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade.
In addition to existential warnings, Coxon accused both US companies of playing with human lives in their ongoing race to develop advanced AI models capable of self-improvement.
