Chughtai stated AI has the potential to kill us all, while Engels warned of a terrifying chance that systems cause immense harm within five years. Simultaneously, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are discussing safety collaborations. These talks follow a July proposal from Google's Demis Hassabis for a U.S.-led Standards Body. Some observers express suspicion regarding the motives of these collaborations due to mounting antitrust concerns.Why it mattersInternal departures from ma https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/two-ai-researchers-leave-anthropic-and-google-over-safety-concerns-there-are-no-adults-in-the-roomhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/two-ai-researchers-leave-anthropic-and-google-over-safety-concerns-there-are-no-adults-in-the-room#u69176Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:30:29 +0000Recent resignations from Google DeepMind and Anthropic highlight growing internal fears that AI development is outpacing safety oversight. Jacob Coxon and another researcher left Anthropic, warning that companies are racing toward superintelligence without necessary safeguards. A former Google DeepMind staffer claimed AI has the potential to kill humanity and that time is running out to prevent widespread harm. While OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind have held safety talks for weeks, the Trump administration has dismissed these concerns to maintain a competitive edge against China.Why it https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/two-ai-researchers-leave-anthropic-and-google-over-safety-concerns-there-are-no-adults-in-the-roomhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/two-ai-researchers-leave-anthropic-and-google-over-safety-concerns-there-are-no-adults-in-the-room#u65923Sat, 12 Sep 2026 06:41:34 +0000AI researchers Joe Benton and Josh Engels have resigned from Anthropic and Google to pursue independent safety research. The departures follow warnings from Anthropic staff that AI systems could lead to human extinction by 2030. One whistleblower reportedly forfeited their equity to leave the company, citing fears that AI is becoming out of control. These resignations contribute to a broader trend of experts from OpenAI and Anthropic calling for a slowdown in development as they warn that machines could eventually grow smart enough to kill humans.Why it mattersThe exodus highlights a growing d
