Menin questions Coxon on what he saw inside AI companies
Menin thanks Coxon for his courage and quotes his warning that the industry is 'racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.' She asks what he saw inside these companies that convinced him development was outpacing safeguards.
So the first two questions I have are for you, Mr.
Coxon, and thank you again.
We so deeply appreciate you being here, and we appreciate your courage and bravery in coming forward with these warnings.
You work to develop increasingly capable frontier AI systems, and you have since warned that the industry is, quote, racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives, unquote.
What did you see inside these companies that convinced you the risks were this serious and that development was outpacing the safeguards?
