A researcher at Anthropic resigned, warning that the rapid development of artificial intelligence poses a nontrivial risk to humanity and accusing developers of “gambling with our lives,” according to NBC News’s Inside Scoop newsletter. The departure underscores mounting tension between AI labs’ commercial ambitions and calls for stronger guardrails as increasingly powerful models are rolled out. The warning arrives amid intensifying policy activity on both sides of the Atlantic and renewed scrutiny of safety practices at leading firms. Anthropic has promoted “responsible scaling,” but the exit adds to a string of high-profile safety-related departures roiling the sector.
