Anthropic safety researcher says more than 10% chance AI ‘could kill all humans’

A leading Anthropic safety researcher has warned that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology gives a greater than 10% chance of it potentially causing the extinction of humanity within the next decade. Evan Hubinger, in a post on X, expressed his concern that the current AI models, while posing a low risk, may soon be able to improve themselves to the point of posing an existential threat to the human race.

This comes after the Financial Times reported that Anthropic withheld its latest model from the UK's AI Safety Institute, one of the world's leading bodies assessing AI risk.
