NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Leading artificial intelligence companies do not know how to keep AI systems from pursuing objectives their developers did not assign, whistleblower Jacob Coxon, a former OpenAI and Anthropic employee, warned Monday.
“Companies are being extremely reckless given the stakes,” Coxon told local lawmakers at a hearing before the New York City Council.
