A researcher at Anthropic warned there is more than a 10 percent chance that artificial intelligence could kill all humans within the next ten years, a figure shared in a post published hours after social media chatter about resignations at the AI company. The comments come as the online trend surfaced after a supposed departure from Anthropic, with critics arguing that AI firms are “gambling with our lives” in the race to advance the technology.
The post emphasizes a sobering risk assessment tied to rapid AI development, contrasting sharply with public reassurances from some in the field. The timing follows viral social media messages alleging internal concerns at Anthropic, though the content of those discussions and their veracity remain unclear in the available material.
Details surrounding the researcher, the exact phrasing of the post, and the broader context of the alleged resignation are not provided in the sourced material. What is clear is that the stated estimate—an over-10-percent chance of existential harm within a decade—was highlighted by an Anthropic employee and linked to broader conversations about safety and risk in AI progress.
Authorities or company spokespeople have not been cited in the available content, and no formal statements from Anthropic are included in the sourced material. The report centers on a single attributed estimate and the surrounding social media dialogue about departures and safety concerns in the AI industry.
