We asked AI whether it would lead to human extinction in a decade

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon and other experts have warned about the risk that artificial intelligence models could lead to the extinction of humanity in the future.

The Researcher's Departure and Warnings

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon stated that companies are gambling with human lives, expressing their belief that artificial intelligence models could kill everyone by the end of the decade. These statements were also supported by his colleagues.

Experts' Risk Assessments

Nobel laureate computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton stated that the probability of artificial intelligence destroying humanity could be around 10 percent, while figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk supported calls for the industry to slow down.

AI Prediction Tool and Probability Ratio

The prediction tool named Noah Predict analyzed millions of data points and calculated the probability of human extinction caused by artificial intelligence within the next decade to be 0.85 percent.

Identified Core Danger Scenarios

The prediction tool listed a human causing harm using artificial intelligence tools, institutions failing to cope with economic and systemic collapse, and situations where control is lost as the primary dangers.

Discussions on Industry Slowdown and Legal Regulation

Tech leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, have called for the pace of development to be controlled, while proposals for a legal emergency stop mechanism have also come to the agenda in the UK.
