A researcher at Anthropic has tendered his resignation, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) labs “gambling with our lives” in the race to develop their systems.
asserted
labs → tender → systems
Jacob Coxon’s departure was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which said it was “one of the first examples of an Anthropic employee leaving over AI safety fears”.
asserted
employee → report → fears
In a thread on the social media platform X, Coxon — a researcher who specialises in training new AI models by having them consume vast amounts of data — said: “I resigned from Anthropic today.
asserted
I → specialise → Anthropic
I spent the last three years doing pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic.
asserted
I → spend → OpenAI
“Neither company is acting responsibly.
asserted
company → act → ?
They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” he added.
asserted
he → race → lives
These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionise any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources,” he said.
asserted
he → hack → power
“We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing,” he added.
asserted
he → witness → domains
Coxon also warned of fears among AI researchers and executives about the potential consequences of the technology.
asserted
Coxon → warn → technology
“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
uncertain
it → build → decade
If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible — but I hear the same people express fear privately.
asserted
people → couch → fear
No other human activity poses this level of danger,” he said.
asserted
he → pose → danger
Coxon questioned why companies continued developing AI despite such concerns.
asserted
companies → question → concerns
“A common response is ‘if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?’
asserted
they → believe → it
At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalised the civilisational stakes,” he said.
asserted
he → internalise → stakes
“At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first — they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk,” he added.
asserted
he → understand → risk
Coxon urged AI researchers to reconsider the pace of development and the risks involved, saying: “If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like.
asserted
years → urge → what
“Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind?
asserted
you → want → mind
Should you put your head down because ‘it’s happening anyway’ — or take this moment to call for different conditions?” he asked.
asserted
he → put → conditions
Speaking to the Journal, Coxon had voiced the same reasons for his departure, saying he did not want to participate in an industrywide rush to “build AI systems that can improve themselves, worried such systems could spiral out of control and destroy humanity”.
He also said that many of his industry colleagues now used phrases like “crunchtime” and “endgame” to describe the trajectory toward self-improving models.
uncertain
many → speak → models
The report said that he was also among more than 1,000 AI researchers who recently signed a statement urging global government coordination on a system to “slow AI development if a brake pedal is needed to control models capable of improving on their own”.
asserted
pedal → say → own
