AI expert warns it may kill all humans within a decade | BBC News

Published

on



A leading safety researcher at the AI developer Anthropic has warned he believes there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade.

Evan Hubinger saidthe risk from the models which currently exist was “low” but the technology may develop and improve itself soon to the point where it posed an existential risk to humanity.

He did not spell out how he thought AI systems could in future result in humans being wiped out. But his comments are the latest in a series of increasingly stark warnings about AI, with the debate shifting from whether it truly poses a risk to how big that risk is.

Hubinger’s intervention came in response to comments from Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher who has just quit Anthropic and previously worked at OpenAI. “Neither company is acting responsibly,” he wrote. “These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionise any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.”

Published

on



The UK government has been heavily criticised for planning to override part of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement that it reached with the EU.

It acknowledges that doing so would break international law.

At the heart of the latest Brexit escalation is the thorny issue of where customs checks should be between the UK and the EU.

The BBC’s Ros Atkins explains the issue, and it’s about much more then where the forms get filled in.
