Hugging Face CEO says asking Anthropic researcher ‘about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change’
"Sorry, but asking Jacob about AI extinction risk is like asking your AC guy about climate change," Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue wrote on X.
Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue criticized the concern raised by a former Anthropic researcher, Jacob Coxon, about the potential extinction risk posed by AI. Delangue compared this to a regular AC guy discussing climate change, suggesting that Coxon's expertise on the matter is questionable. Coxon had resigned from Anthropic, expressing fears that both Anthropic and OpenAI were racing towards creating superintelligent AI, which could prove lethal to humanity.
Delangue urged for a more comprehensive discussion on AI risks, emphasizing the need to consider various perspectives from experts across the AI ecosystem, including social scientists, other AI builders, futurists, investors, and policymakers.
