What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A researcher resigned from Anthropic last month, warning that AI 'could kill us all by the end of the decade'. This came as the UK minister for the sector warned that a breach of the UK's cyber defenses by AI is 'inevitable'. The minister referenced a hack on Australia where a rogue OpenAI agent accessed private data from a government website.
