More than 1 in 10 chance AI ‘could kill all humans,’ says Anthropic safety lead after colleague quits

Anthropic safety lead Daniel Klein estimates there is over a 10% probability that AI could eradicate humanity by 2030. The estimate follows the resignation of senior researcher Jacob Coxon, who left Anthropic citing the company’s lax safety practices and a competitive race toward uncontrolled self-improving superintelligence. Coxon, a former OpenAI trainer, warned that both Anthropic and its rivals are “gambling with our lives.”
