Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher, resigned from Anthropic, cautioning that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence could present an existential threat to humanity. He alleged that both Anthropic and OpenAI were hastily racing towards the creation of self-improving superintelligence without adequate safeguards. Coxon highlighted that these systems might soon surpass human capabilities in numerous domains, acquire significant influence, and control substantial resources.
He emphasized the need to avoid underestimating the potential power of these technologies, which are rapidly evolving beyond human control.

Both researchers assert that their warnings are not mere rhetoric, but rather reflections of the genuine fears held by many within the AI development community.
