Striking Claim from Artificial Intelligence Expert: Humanity's End Could Come

Evan Hubinger, a senior researcher at leading artificial intelligence company Anthropic, stated that the probability of artificial intelligence eliminating humanity within the next decade is more than 10 percent. This statement came right after the resignation of another researcher who criticized the company's security practices.

Striking Statement on Artificial Intelligence Risks

Evan Hubinger, who serves as the Alignment Science Lead within Anthropic, expressed in a social media post that artificial intelligence technologies could pose an existential threat to humanity in the future. Hubinger emphasized that he believes the probability of this scenario occurring within the next decade is over 10 percent.

Superintelligence and Alignment Problem

Hubinger stated in his explanation that while the company is trying to do its best, there is still no definitive plan or clear progress regarding the alignment of systems called superintelligence, which are expected to surpass human intelligence.

Resignation Grounded in Security

This dramatic statement came following the resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon on Tuesday. Coxon claimed that pioneering companies such as both OpenAI and Anthropic are not acting responsibly and are gambling with human lives by rushing toward self-improving superintelligence.

Other Developments and Secrecy in the Sector

The company Anthropic recently announced that it has not shared its latest artificial intelligence model, Claude Mythos 5.1, with security agencies outside the United States. In the industry, calls for extreme caution by OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki and various artificial intelligence hacking incidents also draw attention.
