10 Percent Chance AI Could Kill All Humans Within 'Next Decade,' Anthropic Worker Claims
Jacob Coxon said some Anthropic staff believe advanced AI could kill all humans, and he warned the company lacks a plan for superintelligence alignment.
- Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon told CNN's Anderson Cooper that he resigned over fears rapidly advancing AI could become impossible to control, estimating more than a 1 in 10 chance that AI will kill all 8 billion humans.
- Current Anthropic staffer Evan Hubinger corroborated these fears, writing that the team earnestly believes superintelligence could kill all humans within the decade because the company lacks a clear plan to solve alignment for such advanced technology.
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned that technology eluding human control is alarming, though he suggested some AI concerns might be aimed at investors ahead of upcoming IPOs rather than genuine safety issues.
- Bernie Sanders called for banning American-led AI development to prevent risks, while Republicans argue that shutting down research would allow China to gain a dangerous advantage and increase existential danger.
- While some call for immediate shutdowns, experts argue that Technology should enhance the human experience rather than supplant it, emphasizing the need for sober analysis and common-sense intervention to ensure superintelligence has proper guardrails.
