Instead, Amodei said Jacob Coxon was warning about the wider AI industry moving too fast. During the interview, Dario Amodei also explained why he no longer prefers giving a single percentage for the risk of AI causing catastrophic harm, saying the focus should be on choosing the right path for AI development.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What did Jacob Coxon say about AI killing humans<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Jacob Coxon, who worked on pretraining research at both Anthropic and OpenAI, resigned from Anthropic earlier this month. In a post on X, he said the companies were not acting responsibly and warned that the AI industry was moving towards self-improving superintelligence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Coxon wrote that AI developers were \u201cracing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.\u201d He also said people building AI \u201cearnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.\u201d His post quickly drew widespread attention, with CNN reporting that it was seen by more than 40 million people.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Dario Amodei says he agrees with Jacob Coxon<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Asked by CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper whether he believes AI could kill all humans and what probability he would put on that outcome, Amodei did not reject Coxon&#8217;s concern.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cIt&#8217;s funny, I agree with Jacob much more than I disagree with him,\u201d Amodei said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>He then explained why he viewed Coxon&#8217;s resignation differently from a direct criticism of Anthropic.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>\u201cIt&#8217;s an interesting resignation, because when he left, he said, you know, I think Anthropic is the most responsible player, right? I think Anthropic is the most aware of these issues. He wasn&#8217;t calling out us. He was calling out the dynamic of the industry as a whole, moving too fast.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why Dario Amodei does not give one AI extinction percentage<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Dario Amodei was also asked to put a number on the possibility of AI causing catastrophic harm. He said he used to discuss AI risks in terms of a single probability because it was an easy way to explain the issue. <!-- -->He now believes that approach can hide the different ways AI development could unfold.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>\u201cI think there&#8217;s some chance that things go wrong, but, you know, but it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s not all that high,\u201d Amodei said. He then explained that the more useful question is what paths the AI industry takes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>\u201cBut again, I think it&#8217;s more illuminating to think in terms of, you know, how do you decompose those probabilities? What are the paths in which things go well, and what are the paths in which things go poorly?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Rather than saying there is a fixed 10% or 20% chance that AI could cause a disaster, Amodei said the outcome depends on decisions made by companies and governments. <!-- -->\u201cAnd so instead of saying, you know, it&#8217;s a 10% chance, that sounds like it&#8217;s a roll of the dice,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>He added:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>\u201cI think it&#8217;s much more illuminating to say, well, that forks into different paths. And if we take the right path, then the chance of something going wrong is very low. If we take the wrong path, then the chance of something going wrong could be, could be even higher than that.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>\u201cSo let&#8217;s focus on our agency, and our ability to take the right paths instead of the wrong paths,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
