A stark estimate from inside Anthropic
An Anthropic researcher has put a number on one of AI's darkest scenarios: more than a 10 per cent chance the technology could kill all of humanity within the next decade. The estimate appeared in a post shortly after social media posts went viral from someone saying they had just quit Anthropic, accusing AI companies of "gambling with our lives" in the race to build ever more powerful systems.
Why it matters here
Canada has positioned itself as a serious player in AI research and policy, from federal AI strategy funding to Ottawa's own push into responsible AI governance. Warnings like this one add urgency to that conversation, even as the companies making them keep building.
