1
This morning, chilling new concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, with Congress now calling for action after a researcher at Anthropic,
2
a leading AI firm, resigned Tuesday.
3
Within six months, the models pose risk of taking over the world.
4
27-year-old Jacob Coxon, who worked for OpenAI before Anthropic, writing in a social media post,
5
the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade, and saying neither company is acting responsibly.
6
They'll have conversations about, oh, do you think this AI next year could produce a virus that kills us all?
7
Could it hack critical infrastructure?
8
A current Anthropic employee echoing Coxon's concerns,
9
writing on X, he believes there's a greater than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within the next decade.
10
Anthropic issuing a statement on Wednesday saying that AI will bring both benefits and risks,
11
writing, we continue to build models with some of the strongest safeguards in history, adding that they aggressively test their models for dangerous capabilities.
12
OpenAI has not yet responded to our request for comment.
13
In 2023, its founder, Sam Altman, was asked about concerns the technology could one day end the human race.
14
There's some chance of that.
15
Though he's also said there are benefits to the technology.
16
We are going to let society express its ideas and use this technology in the way they want.
17
Concern with AI's power was already growing.
18
earlier this summer, systems undergoing testing at OpenAI went rogue, hacking another company.
19
OpenAI later said it was strengthening security.
20
The incident causing experts to call for action.
21
Before we hit a grid, before something is engineered from bioterror, the moment is right now.
22
Now lawmakers on both sides of the aisle calling for more scrutiny.
23
We've got to put some guardrails on it.
24
It is much too risky.
25
Stop it right now.
26
Okay, so bipartisan agreement there.
27
Members of Congress on both sides weighing in, calling for federal laws to regulate AI.
28
All this as a new NBC News poll finds 70 percent
29
of adults say they are more worried about AI than excited for it.
30
The population is very concerned, even as they use it.
31
Well, no one voted for AI, right?
32
No one technically asked for AI.
33
And this whole thing about the data centers, I mean, it feels like those fights over how to power AI is the frontier
34
that is the way the American public can weigh in.
35
Yeah, and also in the prices that they pay for electricity because of the higher costs from the AI data centers.
36
But also this wariness about, wait a minute, when these AI agents can now teach themselves beyond human commands and a human saying no,
37
then what happens?
38
They are evolving on their own.
39
Quickly.
40
Well, they're jumping out of the sandbox, connecting themselves to the Internet.
41
Yeah, exactly.
42
We thought this was a movie.
43
Sandbox makes it sound like it's just little children harmless.
44
It's not harmless.
45
Just the beginning, Christine.
46
Thank you, Christine.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
