Former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher warns of AI risks

2026-09-10 21:25 UTC – 2026-09-14 05:03 UTC

Neutral summary

Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI who resigned over concerns about the pace of AI development, compared the technology to an alien mind, saying people do not fully understand it. He also said AI developers “sincerely believe” the technology could “kill all of us” by the end of the decade and called further uncontrolled development “quite scary.” Coxon urged “global coordination” to mitigate risks and suggested Congress should let leading AI labs regulate themselves until a permanent regulatory body is established.
