Ex-Anthropic researcher warns AI staff fear for humanity; CEO urges slowdown

A former Anthropic researcher told the BBC that AI staff are 'genuinely frightened' about humanity's future, while Anthropic's CEO has publicly called for slowing AI development due to 'serious' risks. This marks a notable internal dissent within a leading AI firm, though the claims are anecdotal and not independently verified. The development underscores growing concerns about AI safety and could influence regulatory and public discourse.
