Former AI Researcher Warns Industry Race Could Put Human Control at Risk
Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI, has left the artificial intelligence industry over fears that companies are developing increasingly powerful systems too quickly. He told the Wall Street Journal that competition between major AI firms is accelerating the push towards self-improving AI. Coxon believes such systems could become difficult for humans to control or understand. He said some researchers fear the risks could become serious within the next decade. However, the idea that AI could wipe out humanity remains disputed and highly speculative among experts.
