Former Anthropic Researcher Jacob Coxon to Testify at New York City AI Hearing
Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic, is set to testify at a New York City Council hearing on artificial intelligence at the request of Council Speaker Julie Menin. Coxon, who resigned last month, has warned that AI developers believe the technology could pose existential risks within the decade and accused Anthropic and OpenAI of recklessness. The hearing will include representatives from major AI companies as city lawmakers consider bills to regulate AI locally amid growing safety concerns.
