Anthropic insiders express grave concerns about AI's potential to end humanity, with one employee estimating the risk above 10% within the next decade.
- On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation, claiming AI companies are racing toward an "endgame" that could "kill us all."
- Researchers warn that AIs are advancing toward self-improving superintelligence, technology's ability to create progressively more capable versions of itself that could soon hack secure environments and acquire real power.
- Anthropic safety researcher Evan Hubinger warned there is a greater than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within the decade, while Samuel Marks added that staff "desperately want to slow down" but face commercial pressure.
- Separately, the Financial Times reported that Anthropic withheld its latest model from the Safety Institute , while the company declined to comment on employee posts.
- While AI concern is not new, these warnings from internal staff at a leading lab are fueling industry anxiety, as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has also warned about society's lack of planning.
