Multiple current and former Anthropic employees warned — and admitted — on Tuesday that the researchers building new AI models believe the technology could lead to humanity’s destruction by the end of the decade, reflecting the industry’s frenzy over reining in rapid development.

Jacob Coxon, a former AI researcher at Anthropic, wrote on X that he resigned from the company on Tuesday because he believed the Dario Amodei-led company and OpenAI, his former employer, were “gambling with our lives” in how they improved the technology.
