Three Anthropic researchers went public last night with chilling concerns about out-of-control AI, warning it could destroy humans this decade. Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon wrote on X, after resigning Tuesday to sound the alarm: “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.” Anthropic alignment-science lead Evan Hubinger responded: “Jacob is correct here — we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.”
