The people building the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems may be more worried about the technology than they let on publicly. One former researcher says some of the industry’s biggest names privately fear AI could eventually become powerful enough to take out every human on Earth.
Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old researcher who worked on pretraining at both OpenAI and Anthropic, announced his resignation from Anthropic on Sept. 9 in a thread on X. After three years working at the two AI companies, he said neither is handling the race toward increasingly capable systems responsibly.
