Anthropic CEO responds to ex-employee who resigned 'warning' that AI could kill all

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has responded to former researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation, who left the AI company earlier this month and warned that rapidly developing AI systems could “kill us all by the end of the decade.” In a CNN interview, Dario Amodei said he “agree[s] with Jacob much more than I disagree with him”, while making clear that Coxon was not specifically accusing Anthropic of acting irresponsibly. Instead, Amodei said Jacob Coxon was warning about the wider AI industry moving too fast. During the interview, Dario Amodei also explained why he no longer prefers giving a single percentage for the risk of AI causing catastrophic harm, saying the focus should be on choosing the right path for AI development.What did Jacob Coxon say about AI killing humansJacob Coxon, who worked on pretraining research at both Anthropic and OpenAI, resigned from Anthropic earlier this month.
