Tech1:47Anthropic says it blocked possible attempts to use artificial intelligence to develop biological weapons. The claim follows a warning from a former employee that AI could kill all of humanity within years.
TechNBC News spoke with two additional artificial intelligence researchers about the potential danger AI poses to humanity. Their comments follow researcher Jacob Coxon’s viral post saying AI could kill humanity within the next decade. Incoming UC Berkeley professor Sayash Kapoor also warns of the risk but says policy proposals and regulation could help prevent further threats.
TechFormer employees of some leading A.I. companies warn that the capabilities of future models could be powerful enough to kill all humans. NBC News’ Christine Romans reports.
TechFormer and current Anthropic employees publicly warned this week about the risks of AI development, saying it could potentially kill all humans. The Atlantic CEO Nick Thompson joins the discussion.
