Brief
Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned citing fears that self-improving AI could threaten humanity and urged laboratories to agree on slower development. The resignation called for pacing agreements to reduce extinction risk, according to TechCrunch AI.
Why It Matters
If labs do not coordinate pacing, rapid unchecked AI development could raise systemic safety and existential risk concerns.
