TERRIFYING: Former Anthropic AI Systems Developer Jacob Coxon: “We know how to control nuclear weapons pretty much. We DON’T YET know how to control AI. This is possibly the most DANGEROUS technology that humanity has ever created. It’s basically out of science fiction.” “I think we have NO OTHER choice but to cooperate internationally because an arms race would be disastrous in a way that no other human activity has been in the past.”

A former Anthropic AI systems developer is sounding the alarm on how quickly AI is advancing. Jacob Coxon says the models are getting “VERY, VERY QUICKLY” smarter, and admits we still don’t know how to properly control them. The combination of rapidly improving AI and increasingly capable cyberattacks. “When you put those two together, it basically spells disaster.” That’s a chilling warning from someone who worked on these systems.

Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."

This was another great question from Bret Baier tonight, with a great follow-up: Q: "What do you say to people who look at this and say the American government could throttle back some companies and set up regulations, but we have no control over what China or India does?" Jacob Coxon: "You have to think of this arms race. This technology is not ordinary technology. It’s not like other forms of innovation. This is essentially a super weapon. And I think that I expect the international community to be ready to make agreements about how to control the development of super weapon technology." Bret's follow-up Q: "So people would say, if you say it’s like an arms race, then we dealt with nuclear weapons and kind of a standoff with mutual assured destruction and worked with allies and enemies to say, 'We have got the stuff, too. Don’t think that you’re going to get away with anything.' So does that work against what you’re saying?" Coxon: "Unfortunately we know how to control nuclear weapons pretty much. We don’t yet know how to control AI. This is possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created. It’s basically out of science fiction. I think we have no other choice but to cooperate internationally..."

🚨THIS IS SCARY: ANTHROPIC SAYS THE WORLD SHOULD HIT PAUSE ON AI Earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "The other extreme position is 'this is really scary, we should just pause.. stop building the technology'" Now, Anthropic says: "Our AI is getting scary good at improving us. We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development." Are we so close to that "extreme position" than most realise?

Concerns about the risks of AI and whether the companies building it are doing enough to keep it safe erupted across the tech world, following the public resignation of an Anthropic researcher. Jacob Coxon, who previously worked at OpenAI, wrote in a post that the industry understands the potential risks but is moving ahead anyway. Geoff Bennett speaks to Amrith Ramkumar for more.

Why are CEOs of AI companies privately warning about the extinction of humans? To understand that, I’m joined by someone who helped build the field… Stuart Russell is one of the world’s leading AI researchers. He co-wrote Artificial Intelligence*: ‘*A Modern Approach’ - the textbook used to train AI engineers in more than 1,500 universities. He has spent decades advising governments and global leaders on the safety and control of advanced AI. Right now, the people building the most powerful AI systems are raising alarms in private that they rarely voice in public. Some estimate up to a 25% chance that AI could lead to human extinction… Stuart has heard these conversations directly. He believes we’re in a race we don’t really understand, pushed by incentives no one is really controlling.

The Anthropic researcher who quit went on CNN and said the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." His biggest fear: AI being used to make itself more intelligent. The exact thing OpenAI showed it's already doing three days ago. He told Anderson Cooper these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology." This isn't a critic on the outside. He was building it.

🚨AI IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN NUKES AND NO ONE IS IN CONTROL Most people compare AI to nuclear weapons. Roman Yampolskiy says that comparison misses the real danger. Nukes still require human decisions. Someone has to launch them. Someone can stop them. Advanced AI does not work that way. Once powerful systems are deployed, they make decisions on their own. And the people who build them do not truly control what happens next. He says we did the opposite of what safety demanded. Instead of slowing down, we connected AI to the internet, open sourced it, and pushed it forward in an arms race with no serious oversight. Governments talk about regulation, but most of it never materialized. In some cases, rules were blocked before they even started. Yampolskiy’s warning is simple. With nukes, the world tried to limit the damage. With AI, we are accelerating toward something we may not be able to stop. Full conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy below

OpenAI and Anthropic researcher resigned, warning that the people actually building this technology believe it could kill everyone. Jacob Coxon is twenty seven years old, and spent the past three years doing pretraining research at both major AI labs. What made this particular resignation stand out, though, was what happened next. A senior, currently employed Anthropic researcher publicly agreed with him, rather than pushing back. Anthropic's own head of AI safety resigned earlier this year with a similarly stark warning. Watch the full video as we uncover the story.

Brad Gerstner Responds to the Jacob Coxon AI Hysteria This Week “These hyperbolic scare tactics, I think are hiding behind a political agenda … To go on national television in a highly coordinated way … and have a single researcher, who spent six weeks at Anthropic, tell the moms and dads of America that this can k*ll all of humanity in the next three years without any countervailing conversation is deeply irresponsible.”

Chris Camillo made the most bullish case on $AMZN. Everyone worried when Amazon raised their capex to $200 billion Camillo believes they might make that $200 billion back on their Anthropic investment alone when Anthropic IPOs. What Amazon has done in the last 18 months is remarkable in scope. They didn't try to win the foundation model race against OpenAI and Google directly. They went a completely different direction, positioning themselves as the infrastructure underneath everything that is AI. Trainium chips, cloud buildout, advertising integration and equity stakes in two of the three most important AI companies on the planet. First Anthropic. Now $50 billion into OpenAI on top of that. And that OpenAI investment isn't just a financial bet. It ties OpenAI into Amazon's cloud ecosystem, probably permanently. Two of the big three AI labs now run on Amazon infrastructure. Google is the only one that doesn't. The market has spent two years debating who builds the best model. Amazon decided to own the plumbing those models run on and bought equity in the winners while they were at it.

Elon Musk on the importance of establishing the right values ​​in AGI: “I don't think anyone's ultimately going to have control over digital superintelligence any more than, say, a chimp would have control over humans. Like chimps don't have control over humans. There's nothing they could do. But I do think that it matters how you build the AI and what kind of values you instill in the AI. And my opinion on AI safety is, the most important thing is that it be maximally truth-seeking, like that you don't force the AI to believe things that are false.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not static. It is a rapidly progressing, real-time and dynamic. Therefore, all of us will have to be conscious that we don't sit back on the ethics. We need to be clear that regulation has to run the race equally as much as the technology is running it. If the technology is on a sprint, the regulation has to be on the sprint, too. - Smt Nirmala Sitharaman at the launch of 'AI for Viksit Bharat: The Opportunity for Accelerated Economic Growth' and the Frontier Tech Repository by NITI Aayog in New Delhi.
