Jacob Coxon, a British software engineer at Anthropic, submitted his resignation and made serious accusations against the company and also against OpenAI. In several public appearances, Coxon stated that these companies are "playing with our lives" in the development of artificial intelligence, criticizing the way technology is being pushed forward without proper care.
The engineer's statements have been generating enormous media coverage, becoming one of the most debated topics in recent weeks. Coxon has been using social media and interviews to warn the public about the dangers he associates with the accelerated development of AI.
The engineer was particularly assertive in his predictions about the future of technology, stating that artificial intelligence "could kill us all by the end of this decade." This alarmist statement has divided opinions among experts and the general public.
Coxon has thus joined other critical voices within the tech industry who warn about the existential risks of artificial intelligence. His accusations come at a time when both Anthropic and OpenAI are developing increasingly advanced systems, intensifying the debate about AI safety and regulation.
