Former OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon has warned that rapid advancements in artificial intelligence could pose a significant threat to humanity. In a recent resignation announcement on X, Coxon accused both OpenAI and Anthropic of neglecting safety measures as they pursue self-improving superintelligence. He expressed concern that these powerful systems could surpass human capabilities and gain control over critical resources.
Coxon emphasized that the development of such advanced AI should not be underestimated, stating that these systems could revolutionize any field overnight and potentially pose an existential risk to humanity. His warnings align with those of other AI researchers, including Evan Hubinger of Anthropic, who privately believes there's a 10% chance that AI could wipe out all humans within the next decade.
