Anthropic and OpenAI Experts Warn of Significant AI Extinction Risk Within Next Decade

Two leading AI researchers, one from Anthropic and a former OpenAI scientist, have voiced serious concerns about the existential risks posed by artificial intelligence. According to The Decoder, Jacob Coxon accuses both OpenAI and Anthropic of knowingly putting humanity at risk of extinction through their AI development efforts.

Meanwhile, Evan Hubinger, also cited by The Decoder, estimates that the probability of a misaligned superintelligent AI causing human extinction within the next decade exceeds ten percent. This alarming figure highlights growing fears within the AI research community about the pace and direction of AI advancements.

For Japanese investors and markets, these assessments emphasize the importance of monitoring AI's impact on technology sectors and regulatory responses, as AI-driven innovation continues to reshape global equities and FX markets.
