AI’s Dangerous Race to Superintelligence | Charleston News

from Charleston West Virginia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A former AI researcher from OpenAI and Anthropic warns that the race to superintelligence is dangerously reckless, urging scientists to pause and rethink AI’s future. Jacob Coxon, who spent years at both labs, argues that rushing toward advanced AI without understanding its behavior is like gambling with humanity’s survival. Evan Hubinger of Anthropic admits researchers there believe AI could pose an existential threat—with a 10% chance within a decade—and confesses they lack a solid plan to keep it aligned with human values. This concern isn’t fringe: over 1,300 AI workers recently called on the U.S. government to slow development, revealing a growing crisis of conscience in the field.
