AI researcher quits Anthropic and OpenAI warning of existential risks
· Technology · Indian Express, Hindustan Times
Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old researcher who spent three years at both Anthropic and OpenAI, has resigned from Anthropic. He warned that leading AI companies are moving too quickly towards increasingly powerful and potentially uncontrollable self-improving systems. Coxon claimed that while executives use cautious language publicly regarding AI risks, they express much greater concern privately. He predicted that sufficiently advanced AI could pose an existential threat to humanity by the end of the decade.
