Two AI safety researchers left Anthropic and Google DeepMind and went public with their concerns. Joe Benton led a safety research team at Anthropic. Josh Engels worked on AI safety research at Google. Both are joining METR, a nonprofit research centre that studies catastrophic AI risk. They will investigate cases where AI systems stray from human instructions. Both cited a July cyberattack on Hugging Face carried out by autonomous systems running an unreleased OpenAI model. Benton says all company disclosure about these risks is currently voluntary. No federal law requires labs to report when systems act beyond human control. Anthropic said it builds models with strong safeguards. OpenAI said its newer Astra system follows instructions more reliably.
