Cambridge's David Krueger: AI safety community may be nearing a turning point
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-11-10
Cambridge professor and AI safety researcher David Krueger writes that after 3+ years of disagreements with many in AI safety, views may be approaching a turning point: technical alignment is unlikely to be solved in time; a durable AI moratorium is possible; speaking candidly about the need to shut it all down is good; evals and RSPs/self-regulation are counter-productive, delaying real regulation; and Anthropic is not trustworthy. A notably contentious signal of deepening splits within the safety community.
