He warned the two labs were [racing toward self-improving superintelligence](https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-researcher-quits-over-ai-safety-concerns-2026-9) without acting responsibly.\n\n\"The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,\" he wrote on X on Wednesday. \"This is not a marketing stunt.\"\n\nIt set off a [fierce debate among AI researchers](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-apocalypse-anthropic-open-ai-how-it-would-happen-experts-2026-9), policymakers, and tech observers. Several current and former Anthropic employees [publicly endorsed parts](https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-openai-employees-speak-out-ai-safety-2026-9) of Coxon's warning.\n\nOthers like Gary Marcus, an AI researcher and author, said there was \"no realistic scenario\" for near-term human extinction, and Melanie Mitchell, a professor at the Santa Fe Institute, similarly called extinction fears \"far-fetched.\"\n\nOn Thursday, Osika wrote in the post, which featured screenshots of Coxon's X thread: \"Decisions that could affect everyone deserve public accountability. The people building the most powerful systems should have to demonstrate that they can keep them under control.\"\n\nOsika added: \"As a European founder, I want our leaders to hear this: you have my support in pushing for international coordination, including slowing dangerous development when safety cannot be demonstrated.\"\n\nEvan Hubinger, who leads Anthropic's alignment team, which tests if superintelligent AI follows human values, said he personally believed there was a [greater-than-10% chance](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-workers-turn-extinction-warning-into-copy-and-paste-meme-2026-9) that AI could kill all humans within the next decade.\n\nHe added that Anthropic did not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence, although it was trying its best.\n\nOpenAI and Anthropic leaders, meanwhile, have remained silent, but have [issued similar warnings](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-doomer-predictions-not-new-jacob-coxon-anthropic-2026-9) in the past.\n\nOpen AI CEO Sam Altman [said](https://openai.com/index/our-principles/) in April that the company may need to work with governments, international bodies, and rival AGI developers to resolve \"serious alignment, safety, or societal problems\" before proceeding further.\n\nAnthropic CEO Dario Amodei, meanwhile, [warned](https://www.anthropic.com/news/paris-ai-summit) in February 2025 that advanced AI could bring global security threats, from catastrophic misuse to the autonomous risks posed by powerful systems.\n\nOpenAI and Anthropic did not immediately respond to Business Insider's out-of-hours requests for comment.\n\nOsika ended his LinkedIn post with: \"Our ambition for AI should be measured by what it makes possible for humanity.\"", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lovable-s-ceo-weighed-in-on-warnings-that-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity", "canonical_source": "https://www.businessinsider.com/lovables-ceo-on-warning-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity-2026-9", "published_at": "2026-09-11 12:49:28+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-11 13:08:34.628924+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety", "ai-policy", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Lovable", "Anton Osika", "Jacob Coxon", "OpenAI", "Anthropic", "Evan Hubinger", "Sam Altman", "Dario Amodei"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lovable-s-ceo-weighed-in-on-warnings-that-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lovable-s-ceo-weighed-in-on-warnings-that-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lovable-s-ceo-weighed-in-on-warnings-that-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/lovable-s-ceo-weighed-in-on-warnings-that-ai-could-wipe-out-humanity.jsonld"}}
