US lawmakers seek new AI regulations following extinction warnings from researchers

US lawmakers called for new rules to govern artificial intelligence after Anthropic researchers warned that rapid AI advancements could lead to human extinction.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned, warning that builders believe AI could kill humans by the end of the decade, a sentiment echoed by colleague Evan Hubinger.

President Donald Trump stated he has no concerns about AI leading to extinction but emphasized the need for the US to maintain its lead over China.
