A FOX News host was left shocked over a warning issued by an artificial intelligence whistleblower.
The whistleblower resigned from Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot.
Jacob Coxon, an AI researcher, spoke with Fox News host Bret Baier on Wednesday and issued dire warnings about the future of humanity.
“This is possibly the most dangerous technology humanity has ever created. It’s basically out of science fiction.” Coxon said about AI, leaving Baier stunned.
“So unfortunately, we know how to control nuclear weapons pretty much, we don’t yet know how to control AI.”
Coxon announced his departure from Anthropic on Tuesday, in a series of X posts heavily criticizing the company.

“I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives,” Coxon said.
“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt.”
Coxon added that “no other human activity poses this level of danger,” when compared to AI.
During his appearance on Fox News, Coxon was asked if there’s anything humans can do to combat AI.
