AI Race or Gamble? Researchers Sound Alarm | Dayton News

A former AI researcher who worked at both OpenAI and Anthropic has quit, warning that these companies are racing toward superintelligence without adequately addressing the existential risks. He argues they’re gambling with humanity’s future, and insiders privately fear AI could wipe us out by the end of this decade. While Anthropic acknowledges AI’s dual potential and OpenAI pushes for collaboration, Coxon’s former colleagues echo his concerns—lacking a solid plan for alignment. Another ex-researcher shifts focus to AI’s societal impact, criticizing the “AI kills humanity” narrative as distracting from urgent human issues. Politicians are now calling for regulation, but President Trump remains optimistic, comparing AI to TV and insisting we’ll manage it—highlighting the deep divide in how the world views this technological revolution.
