Their identities are known to the BBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;My first thought was, &#8216;That guy?'&#8221; said a former OpenAI employee who knew of Coxon when they both worked at the company. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The person, who now works at another AI company, said their amusement at the new moment of existential AI fears largely stemmed from how little detail had been provided by its proponents to defend the notion that all of human life was at stake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The claims are &#8220;always vague&#8221;, the person said, adding that when they sound specific, they tend toward major jumps in reasoning or hypothetical circumstances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Coxon has said a group of AI agents, based on AI models that do not currently exist, could decide to create and then aim a biological weapon, but he did not detail how exactly that would take place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
