More Anthropic researchers warn of AI’s perils but Musk dismisses ‘psyop’

Researchers from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind are intensifying warnings that advanced AI could cause human extinction. Anthropic alignment lead Evan Hubinger estimates the risk of extinction within a decade exceeds 10%. While some insiders fear the technology is out of control, Elon Musk has dismissed these warnings as a "psyop" and a "setup." The Nvidia CEO also rejected the doomsday warnings, calling them "outlandish" and "deeply untrue." These warnings are individual views rather than official company findings.

  1. Anthropic Researchers Warn of AI Extinction Risk by 2030

    Researchers from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google DeepMind are intensifying warnings that advanced AI could cause human extinction. Anthropic alignment lead Evan Hubinger estimates the risk of extinction within a decade exceeds 10%. While some insiders fear the technology is out of control, Elon Musk has dismissed these warnings as a "psyop" and a "setup." The Nvidia CEO also rejected the doomsday warnings, calling them "outlandish" and "deeply untrue." These warnings are individual views rather than official company findings.

    Why it matters

    The debate centers on whether governments are regulating AI fast enough to prevent catastrophic outcomes. Concerns grow as AI capabilities approach superintelligence, leading some experts to compare the human-AI power dynamic to that of humans and chimpanzees.
