A security researcher at Anthropic believes there is more than a 10% probability that artificial intelligence will exterminate all of humanity by the end of this decade. This statement comes after a colleague resigned from the company after warning about the dangers of the unbridled race to create artificial superintelligence.
The researcher is accusing the major artificial intelligence companies of putting humanity at risk through this technological race without the proper safety controls. The alert comes at a time when several companies are competing to develop increasingly advanced AI systems.
The colleague's resignation came as a direct response to how Anthropic and other industry giants are proceeding in AI development, according to the warning that was presented before leaving the company.
Tek Notícias highlights that this type of warning about existential AI risks has been increasing among technology sector workers themselves, who warn about the possibility of catastrophic consequences if adequate safety measures are not implemented.
