AI Researchers Sound the Alarm | Salt Lake City News

Former OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon is sounding the alarm, calling both OpenAI and Anthropic “gambling with our lives” as they race toward superintelligence without fully grasping the risks. After leaving Anthropic, he’s urging fellow researchers to demand responsibility over speed, questioning whether launching advanced AI without understanding its mind is ethical—or if they should push back. Evan Hubinger of Anthropic echoes the concern, admitting his team believes there’s a greater than 10% chance AI could wipe out humanity within a decade—and admits they lack a viable alignment plan. The warning isn’t isolated: over 1,300 AI employees signed a letter to the U.S. government last year, pleading for a pause in development. As the builders of this technology raise red flags about existential threats, the tension between innovation and safety grows ever more urgent.
