A 27-year-old AI researcher has quit his job due to safety concerns. Jacob Coxon, formerly of Anthropic, made a blunt admission about the potential dangers of AI on his way out. He stated that the people building AI believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. Coxon's revelations are alarming, but not new, as Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI employees who had similar concerns.
Coxon's resignation thread on X has made waves, highlighting the potential risks of superhuman AI systems. Further details about his concerns and the situation at Anthropic are available.
The incident has raised questions about the safety protocols in place at AI companies, with some employees taking a more cautious approach to development.
