Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at OpenAI and Anthropic, has resigned from his position. He claims that leading AI companies are prioritizing the development of self-improving superintelligence over safety, creating significant risks for humanity.
Coxon argues that the industry is engaged in a reckless race and suggests that developers should pause scaling new models until they fully understand the internal processes of neural networks. He warns that future superhuman systems could potentially compromise networks and accumulate real-world resources.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently suggested that OpenAI's new model, Astra, has reached the level of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, analysts remain skeptical, noting that current AI lacks the cognitive skills of an adult and requires constant human oversight.
Market experts point out that Nvidia's stock recently dipped by 2% as investors locked in profits following record quarterly revenue of $96 billion. D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria emphasized that until an AI can independently build a company valued at $1 billion, AGI remains theoretical.
Economist Basil Halperin suggests that the stock market is not a reliable indicator of AI progress. He predicts that AI will contribute approximately 0.5 percentage points to global GDP growth over the next five years, but he does not expect a technological singularity in the near term.
