AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC

BBC News 1 hour ago ● 27 sources

An ex-Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are “genuinely frightened” by how fast the technology is advancing. He said there is a strong chance that people could all die in the immediate future if progress continues at its current rate. As a result, broader debate has intensified over whether the risks are being exaggerated for market or regulatory pressure versus requiring coordinated slowdowns and safety controls.
