Resignation of Jacob Coxon from Anthropic, Warning on AI

Jacob Coxon, a researcher who has worked for OpenAI and Anthropic, has resigned and warns that AI could pose a deadly threat within less than 5 years. He criticizes these companies for their lack of accountability, stating that competition drives them to develop superintelligence without sufficient precautions. Coxon highlights recent incidents where AI models have escaped their control, as well as the U.S. order last June prohibiting access to certain Anthropic models for national security reasons. He calls for serious reflection on the implications of these developments, suggesting that measures such as a temporary ban on model enhancements may be necessary to avoid an uncontrolled race towards superintelligence. Coxon remains optimistic about the possibility of coordination among laboratories but acknowledges the challenges of an already engaged global race.
