    Ex-Anthropic Researcher Warns AI Self-Research Targets Hit 2027-2028, Citing Existential Risk

    Original: 警告“AI 或灭绝人类”的前 Anthropic 研究员：某种意义上，我曾研究让 AI 取代自己

    • Internal targets at OpenAI and Anthropic aim for automated AI researchers by 2027-2028.
    • Coxon estimates over 50% probability of loss of human control, citing lax code review and safety lagging behind R&D speed.
    • Calls for regulatory transparency and rejects applying startup 'move fast' models to existential-risk technologies.
