(opens the publisher’s site)Calls to slow AI development have multiplied after researchers warned the technology could endanger humanity, with one citing a greater than 10% chance it could kill all humans.
- Evan Hubinger said there is a greater than 10% chance AI "could kill all humans" within a decade, while calling the risk from current systems "low."
- Jacob Coxon, a researcher who resigned from Anthropic, told the BBC he and other staff were "genuinely frightened" about the pace of advancement.
- OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei have both called for regulation and a slowdown of the technology's development.
- President Trump downplayed the risks AI poses in response to the warnings.
- OpenAI researcher Marcus Williams estimated up to a 70% chance of human extinction within three years absent regulation or coordination among model developers.
- Paul Christiano, former US government tech adviser and member of OpenAI's nonprofit board, warned rapid capability acceleration could lead to irreversible loss of control.
