CNBC SQUAWK BOX Anthropic researcher says AI has more than 10% chance of "killing all humans"

An Anthropic researcher he quit the AI company because it, along with OpenAI, where he used to work, are making a headlong rush towards superintelligence, and, in his words, "gambling with our lives." On X, that researcher, his name is Jacob Coxon, writing the following, "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." Coxon said that Anthropic employees understand the potential dire implications of self- improving AI, but they don't trust that OpenAI will shepherd the technology responsibly, so they feel they have to do it themselves. Now, another Anthropic researcher chimed in, saying, “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. He said Anthropic doesn't have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and isn't clearly on track to do it.
