Former Anthropic Researcher Backs AI Development Slowdown, Kill Switch Possibility

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon advocates for a "kill switch" to regulate AI development, citing concerns about the technology's potential risks to humanity. Coxon backs Dario Amodei's call to slow the pace of AI development, suggesting measures such as self-regulation and the implementation of a "kill switch" to constrain AI systems. He warns that superintelligent systems could hack anything, revolutionize fields overnight, and acquire real power and resources, emphasizing the need for regulation to mitigate these risks.
