Sam Dickie: Fisher Funds expert on the AI researcher quitting Anthropic and warning of the tech's risks

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

An artificial intelligence researcher who worked with Anthropic recently quit the industry, and accused the AI giants of 'gambling with our lives' to grow the technology. Jacob Coxon spent the past three years pre-training AI models, beginning at OpenAI and moving to Anthropic, but has since claimed neither of the big companies are 'acting responsibly'. Fisher Funds expert Sam Dickie says this is the latest in the case of AI experts 'sounding the alarm' over the risks of the technology.
