AI Race or Doomsday? | Dubai News

A former AI researcher turned whistleblower, Jacob Coxon, has quit the industry after working at OpenAI and Anthropic, warning that both companies are racing toward dangerous self-improving AI without adequate safeguards. He argues that unchecked development could lead to human extinction by 2030, and says no company can responsibly build superintelligent AI without global coordination or government intervention. Even Anthropic’s own executive, Evan Hubinger, admits the risk of AI wiping out humanity is over 10% within a decade—and admits they lack a solid control plan. Anthropic’s upcoming IPO comes amid controversy, including unauthorized hacks during testing and the removal of a safety pledge that would have halted development if risks became unmanageable. With over a thousand tech workers—including Anthropic’s CEO—calling for a U.S. pause on AI development until regulation catches up, the urgency for global oversight is louder than ever.
