Anthropic researcher says more than 10% chance AI "could kill all humans"

A lead researcher at Anthropic, one of the world's leading artificial intelligence firms, said Wednesday that he believes there is a more than 10% chance AI "could kill all humans" within the next decade.

"We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade," Evan Hubinger, the San Francisco-based company's Alignment Science Lead, said in a post on X. "I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to."
