A former researcher at Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, has told the BBC that staff members are genuinely frightened about what AI could mean for humanity's future. His comments come at a time when Anthropic's boss is publicly asking for AI development to slow down. The company's leader believes the technology poses serious risks that need to be taken seriously before development continues at the current pace.
These concerns highlight growing worry within the AI industry itself about whether the technology is advancing too quickly without enough safeguards in place. When the people building AI express fear about where it's heading, it suggests these aren't just theoretical worries but real concerns from those closest to the work.
