  "account": "Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic, will provide testimony at a New York City hearing on artificial intelligence, according to Bloomberg News. The hearing comes at the request of New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin, who has called for AI whistleblowers to speak before city lawmakers consider a series of bills aimed at establishing safeguards around the technology. Coxon left Anthropic last month, expressing concerns that AI developers hold a belief that their creations could result in mass fatalities by the end of the decade. He also accused Anthropic and OpenAI of recklessly gambling with human lives. However, Reuters could not independently confirm the report at the time of publication.",
