AI expert Joaquín Quiñonero Candela responded on Caracol Radio to Jacob Coxon's warning after leaving Anthropic that "AI could kill all humans."
- Quiñonero calls the claim extreme, as it assumes a worst-case scenario where everything goes wrong
- He agrees AI capabilities may grow rapidly and that oversight will demand major coordination, including between governments
- But he argues safety mechanisms will likely evolve alongside capabilities rather than stay static
- The segment also cites the International AI Safety Report 2026, written by 100+ experts and backed by 30+ countries
