Nhà nghiên cứu của Anthropic từ chức, cảnh báo AI có thể mất kiểm soát vào năm 2027

The Huoxing Finance report states that Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon has announced his resignation and is preparing to leave the AI industry. Over the past three years, he conducted pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. He noted that neither company has been responsibly advancing AI, but is instead racing to build superintelligences capable of further enhancing their own capabilities, “betting our lives on it.” He moved from OpenAI to Anthropic this year precisely because the latter appeared more focused on model safety. Coxon acknowledges that Anthropic’s safety efforts are serious, but argues that as long as companies continue competing to be the first to develop AGI (artificial general intelligence capable of outperforming humans across a wide range of tasks), compromises on safety will remain unavoidable, and no single company’s self-regulation can solve the problem. His assessment of the two companies is this: Many at OpenAI still do not fully grasp the magnitude of this risk; Anthropic recognizes the risk but believes others cannot be trusted, so it must be the first to achieve it. Coxon says that some AI professionals are privately far more pessimistic than their public statements suggest, with some even fearing AI could lead to human extinction before the end of this decade. He personally judges that, under the most aggressive scenario, AI could become uncontrollable by this time next year—making such decisions too critical to be left solely to engineers within a few companies.
