- A senior researcher leading Anthropic's alignment efforts said Tuesday that many at the company believe AI could wipe out humanity, and warned the lab is not on track to solve aligning AI goals with humanity's, despite its efforts.
- The statement came after another researcher quit, accusing Anthropic of acting irresponsibly and leaving the AI industry over fears that labs are racing toward systems that could spiral out of control and destroy humanity.
