Anthropic worker quits over AI firms ‘gambling with our lives’
An artificial intelligence researcher warned that Anthropic and OpenAI were moving ahead with AI that could become too powerful for humans to control.
An artificial intelligence researcher has resigned from Anthropic and called for his fellow employees to reconsider their work. Jacob Coxon, who had previously worked at both Anthropic and OpenAI for three years, expressed his concerns in a social media post on Tuesday. He warned that the two tech giants were pushing forward with the development of "self-improving" AI models that could become so powerful that they would be beyond human control.
"They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives," Coxon stated on X. He emphasized the potential dangers of these technologies, noting that they could soon become superhuman systems capable of hacking anything, transforming any field in an instant, and accumulating real power and resources.
