Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon to testify at New York City AI hearing

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon will testify at a New York City Council hearing on artificial intelligence, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

Council Speaker Julie Menin invited AI whistleblowers to testify as the council considers a package of AI safeguard bills.

Coxon left Anthropic last month and warned that AI could drive humanity extinct by the end of this decade, accusing Anthropic and OpenAI of gambling with lives.
