Jacob Coxon, an artificial intelligence researcher, has resigned from Anthropic, expressing concern that the rapid advancement of AI could pose an unprecedented threat to humanity. In a recent post on X, Coxon accused both Anthropic and OpenAI of failing to prioritize safety as they race towards self-improving superintelligence.
He warned against underestimating the capabilities of advanced AI systems, stating that they could soon surpass humans in important domains and acquire significant power and resources. Coxon cited concerns from other AI researchers who privately believe AI could lead to human extinction by the end of the decade. Another Anthropic researcher, Evan Hubinger, shared these fears, estimating a 10% chance of AI causing human extinction within the next decade.
Coxon's resignation highlights ongoing debates within the AI community about the risks and potential solutions for managing advanced artificial intelligence.
