Confession from Anthropic employee that 'artificial intelligence can kill humanity'

Evan Hubinger, who works on the harmony of artificial intelligence with human values ​​at Anthropic, made a statement regarding the post of Jacob Coxon, who resigned from Anthropic, from the social media platform of US-based company X.

"Those who develop artificial intelligence sincerely believe that this technology could kill us all by the end of the decade," Coxon said. Quoting his post saying, "Jacob is right about this, we truly, sincerely believe that artificial intelligence can kill all humans." he said.

Hubinger argued that he thought this probability was more than 10 percent in 10 years and said, "I think Anthropic is doing its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve the problem of compatibility with super intelligence and we do not follow a clear road map in this direction." made his assessment.

Coxon's resignation

Stating that he has been working as a researcher within the artificial intelligence giants OpenAI and Anthropic for the last three years, Jacob Coxon announced his resignation from Anthropic in his statement on his X account, arguing that both companies did not act responsibly enough.

Coxon stated that companies are in an uncontrolled race to reach self-improving super intelligence and said, "Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon become superhuman systems that can hack anything, transform any area overnight, and obtain real power and resources. We have witnessed the progress in each of these areas and this process is not slowing down." made his assessment.

Claiming that industry employees who developed artificial intelligence models seriously believed that these systems could "kill" humanity within 10 years, Coxon claimed that although managers spoke moderately in public, they experienced great fear behind closed doors.
