The warning in former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation announcement is stark. “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,” he writes. “No other human activity poses this level of danger.”

He says the current race dynamic could threaten human existence. 

Coxon talks with NPR's Scott Detrow about why he’s worried and what he hopes will change.
