Former Anthropic researcher Coxon to testify at New York City AI hearing, Bloomberg News reports
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon is set to testify at a New York City AI hearing, according to Bloomberg News. The reporter obtained the information through sources familiar with the situation. The hearing has been requested by New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin, who has called on AI whistleblowers to provide testimony.
Coxon recently resigned from Anthropic, expressing concerns about the potentially catastrophic consequences of AI development. He warned that the developers of AI systems had a strong belief that it could pose an existential threat to humanity by the end of the decade. Additionally, Coxon accused both Anthropic and OpenAI of recklessly gambling with human lives. However, Reuters was unable to independently verify the reported details.
