Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic (who previously worked at OpenAI) made headlines when he resigned recently. He said neither Anthropic nor OpenAI is acting responsibly: both are racing toward autonomous, self-improving superintelligence and "gambling with our lives."
Coxon claims many people building AI, including colleagues, earnestly believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. He believes the next year or two is "crunch time" or the "endgame" for humanity.
Anthropic's Alignment Science Lead Evan Hubinger publicly agreed that researchers there do fear that AI could in fact kill all humans by the end of this decade.
The solution? According to Coxon, there needs to be a coordinated and deliberate slowdown across leading Western labs (especially OpenAI and Anthropic), to not pursue recursive self-improvement.
In addition, he calls for international agreements between nations to pace development globally--possibly including a temporary ban on pushing capabilities, treating AI like a controlled dangerous resource (similar to nuclear materials), and creating an international CERN-style institution for AI.
He argues that no private company should be driving this alone and that there needs to be government intervention to tap the brakes.
This is one Pandora's box too dangerous to be left open.
A wiseman once said: "With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon. You know the stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, and he's sure he can control the demon? Doesn't work out. --Elon Musk
