High-profile AI insiders, including Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon and a team lead at Anthropic, have expressed concerns that AI could destroy humanity, with Coxon stating "we're gambling with our lives" and warning that superhuman systems could hack anything. However, some executives and investors in Silicon Valley have reacted with skepticism to these warnings, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissing them as "untrue" and some accusing Anthropic of fear-mongering to trigger a regulatory push.
