Rep. Becca Balpart amplified Anthropic researcher Evan Hubinger's statement that he sincerely believes AI could kill all humans — putting personal odds above 10% within the next decade. Hubinger says Anthropic is trying its best but has no plan to solve superintelligence alignment and isn't clearly on track. The congresswoman is using this to argue for congressional action, saying massive AI companies shouldn't "gamble with the future of humanity."
