The website Ethical AI Departures documents 69 profiles of AI safety and ethics resignations from frontier labs. Notable cases include Jacob Coxon (Anthropic pre-training), Alex Turner (Google DeepMind scalable alignment), Android security lead René Mayrhofer, and OpenAI hardware VP Caitlin Kalinowski—several citing Pentagon classified-AI deals lacking safeguards, and Coxon calling the superintelligence race "a gamble with human lives" while urging researchers to demand coordination, possibly a capability pause.
