A pair of researchers have left their positions at Anthropic and Google, citing concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence. This move comes as several executives have expressed worries about the potential dangers of AI, with some going so far as to suggest it could be capable of killing all humans.

For instance, Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic researcher, has warned that AI could grow 'smart enough to kill us'. The departure of these researchers is a notable development, given the high-profile nature of their former employers and the weight of their statements.

However, the stance of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is at odds with these concerns, as he has reportedly dismissed warnings about AI doomsday as 'outlandish' and 'deeply untrue'.
