Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon to testify at New York City AI hearing

Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon is set to testify at a New York City Council hearing on artificial intelligence, according to a Bloomberg News report. The hearing, requested by Council Speaker Julie Menin, is part of the city's consideration of AI safety bills. Coxon, who quit Anthropic in September, has publicly warned that AI developers believe the technology could kill everyone by the decade's end and accused his former employer and OpenAI of risking lives. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
