WASHINGTON, September 13 - RIA Novosti. Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who previously announced his retirement from the AI industry, compared artificial intelligence to the mind of an alien.
On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for the development of more powerful artificial intelligence models to be slowed over security concerns. American billionaire Elon Musk, who owns xAI, as well as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have already expressed agreement with this idea.
"I think the idea of superintelligence has quite appropriately been compared to summoning an alien species. So I think thinking about it in terms of alien intelligence that we don't fully understand is quite scary," Coxon told ABC.
Coxon previously announced his retirement from the AI industry. He explained this by fears that the race of technology corporations is bringing the world closer to the “point of no return” and could lead to an apocalyptic scenario as early as the end of 2027.
