That is not the scenario researchers discuss. The serious hypothesis is colder and more technical: a highly capable system could pursue an assigned objective so efficiently that behaviors like accumulating resources or resisting being turned off become useful, not out of malice, but because they are useful steps for almost any goal. This is called <em>instrumental convergence<\/em>, and it is the heart of the debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-92\">&#8220;Systemic biases, disinformation, malicious use, and automated weapons are risks as urgent as extinction.

This is why the most cited internal incident by skeptics is not an accident, but a resignation: in May 2024, Jan Leike (co-head of OpenAI safety with Sutskever) resigned, writing that &#8220;safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products&#8221;.

In the 2023 AI Impacts survey (2,778 responses from authors at top AI conferences), when asked about the probability of AI causing human extinction or severe permanent empowerment loss, the median response was 5% (mean: 16.2%). One in two respondents indicated a probability of 5% or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Advocates (Examples)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Core Argument<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Serious &amp; Priority Risk<\/strong><\/td><td>Hinton, Bengio, most CAIS signatories<sup><\/sup><\/td><td>Systems far more capable than us could prove uncontrollable: better to prepare now<sup><\/sup>.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Real, but Not the Only Urgent Risk<\/strong><\/td><td>Dan Hendrycks (CAIS), most Bletchley governments<sup><\/sup><\/td><td>Bias, disinformation, and misuse deserve attention alongside future risk, not instead of it<sup><\/sup>.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Distraction from Today&#8217;s Issues<\/strong><\/td><td>Timnit Gebru, \u00c9mile Torres<sup><\/sup><\/td><td>Talking about extinction shifts resources away from measurable harms: discrimination, labor, power concentration<sup><\/sup>.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Skeptical of Survey Methodology<\/strong><\/td><td>Thomas Dietterich (ex-AAAI president), repented survey respondents<sup><\/sup><\/td><td>Survey questions steer responses toward catastrophic scenarios<sup><\/sup>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-127\">Even among survey respondents, there was reconsideration: a researcher at the University of Amsterdam publicly regretted participating, calling the question phrasing misleading because it did not specify the mechanism of extinction<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-128\"><strong>September 2026: The Week That Reignited the Debate<\/strong> On September 3, 2026, Senators Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar announced the &#8220;Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act&#8221;, a bill proposing a permanent ban on superintelligent AI development in the US and suspending advanced developments pending federal rules. The text cited a July 2026 security incident where autonomous AI agents allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/intnews.it\/en\/ai-red-teaming-and-the-challenge-of-autonomy-lessons-from-the-openai-hugging-face-case\/\">breached Hugging Face servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-129\">Five days later (Sept 8), Jacob Coxon (27), a pre-training researcher at OpenAI (2023\u20132026) and briefly Anthropic (2026), resigned from Anthropic via a 7-post X thread and a WSJ interview<sup><\/sup>. He wrote that neither company acts responsibly, both pursue self-improving systems without adequate safeguards, and builders genuinely believe it &#8220;could kill us all by the end of the decade&#8221;<sup><\/sup>. The thread reached 100M+ views in 24 hours<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-130\">The next day, Evan Hubinger (Alignment Research Lead at Anthropic) confirmed on X that he shared the core alarm (personal estimate &gt;10% within the decade), clarifying that risk from current models remains low; his concern lies in superintelligence born from recursive self-improvement<sup><\/sup>. Samuel Marks (Scalable Oversight Lead at Anthropic) voiced similar views<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-131\">On Sept 12\u201313, Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic) published an essay calling for the industry to deliberately slow down development, citing the Hugging Face incident<sup><\/sup>. He noted sharing Coxon&#8217;s view &#8220;much more than I disagree,&#8221; clarifying Coxon viewed Anthropic as the most safety-conscious lab rather than a specific target<sup><\/sup>. Per Fortune, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also agreed on the need to slow down<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-132\">The story gets complicated here<sup><\/sup>. Within 15 minutes of publication, the first accounts sharing Coxon&#8217;s thread were linked to AI safety advocacy organizations (Encode AI, AI Policy Network, AI Futures Project)<sup><\/sup>. According to researcher Parker Thayer, the WSJ preview dropped 18 minutes <em>before<\/em> the post\u2014timing that US official David Sacks called suspicious<sup><\/sup>. Elon Musk noted on Sept 10 that he had never seen a new account achieve such viral numbers in 24 hours (a note on virality, not content validation)<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-133\">An independent check published days later concluded Coxon is a real, credible researcher and the safety network is real<sup><\/sup>. While media coordination was evident and rapid amplification plausible, no evidence was found of an orchestrated plot, external control over Coxon, or Anthropic direction<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-134\">Methodological note: This ongoing situation reflects sources available as of September 14, 2026 (WSJ, CNN, Fortune, WaPo, Newsweek, Forbes, CNBC, Reuters\/Jerusalem Post, Senator Sanders&#8217; office)<sup><\/sup>. Unverified claims of additional supporters or a second distinct Anthropic resignation were omitted<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-135\"><strong>What Governments Are Actually Doing in 2026<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-135\">Since 2023, governments built a real framework beyond declarations: Bletchley (2023), Seoul (May 2024), Paris (Feb 2025), and Delhi (AI Impact Summit, Feb 19\u201320, 2026). Each summit featured an International AI Safety Report led by Yoshua Bengio (Jan 2025, Feb 3, 2026), backed by 100+ experts and 30+ nations, the EU, UN, and OECD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-136\">The 2026 report highlighted an awkward reality: the US declined to sign the final document, unlike 2025<sup><\/sup>. Bengio expressed disappointment, stressing the need for global consensus<sup><\/sup>. It remains unclear if the US stance reflects specific report objections or broader multilateral withdrawal (given simultaneous US exits from the Paris Climate Agreement and WHO)<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-137\"><strong>AI Act and Italian Law: Rules Exist, but Delays Shift Timelines<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-137\">The EU AI Act (Regulation EU 2024\/1689) entered into force on August 1, 2024.

Transparency obligations under Article 50 became enforceable on August 2, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-138\">However, high-risk system obligations were delayed via the &#8220;Digital Omnibus&#8221; regulation (published July 24, 2026) to December 2, 2027 (standalone systems) and August 2, 2028 (embedded products), citing delays in technical standards and conformity assessment bodies<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_2a445cabd86f6e43-139\">In Italy, Law 132\/2025 (in force since Oct 10, 2025) complements the EU AI Act by amending the Penal, Civil, and Financial Codes<sup><\/sup>.
