Q&A with AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who quit Anthropic, on the need for industry-wide, international coordination to limit recursive self-improvement, and more (Maxwell Zeff/Wired)

AI researcher Jacob Coxon, formerly of Anthropic, discussed the necessity for industry-wide, international coordination to restrict recursive self-improvement in AI. In a Q&A with Wired's Maxwell Zeff, Coxon also touched upon the "mini Manhattan project" within Anthropic and issues related to AI alignment. His insights highlight the growing concerns among experts regarding the future trajectory and control of advanced AI systems.

This interview offers a rare, direct account from a former Anthropic researcher on internal projects and the need for industry-wide coordination, unlike most reports that rely on external analysis.
