Anthropic Researcher Quits, Warns AI Poses 10% Risk to Humanity

A lead alignment researcher at Anthropic has resigned, publicly warning that there is a greater than 10% chance AI could cause human extinction by the end of the decade.

The researcher criticized the industry's 'out-of-control' development pace, accusing major firms like Anthropic and OpenAI of gambling with global safety.

This high-profile departure highlights growing internal dissent within AI labs regarding the ethical implications and existential risks of advanced generative models.
