Concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence, and whether the companies building it are doing enough to keep it safe, have erupted across the tech world. Jacob Coxon, who previously worked at Anthropic and OpenAI, wrote that the industry understands the potential risks but is moving ahead anyway. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Amrith Ramkumar of The Wall Street Journal.Notice: Transcripts are machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy. They may contain errors.

"The people building A.I. earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible. But I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger."For more on the warnings that Coxon is raising and the broader questions about whether the A.I. industry is doing enough to address it, we're joined now by Amrith Ramkumar, tech reporter at The Wall Street Journal.Welcome back to the program.
