AI leaders have long discussed existential risks, according to commentary

The Guardian Business piece argues that scientists and entrepreneurs recognized AI’s dangers decades ago, but proceeded anyway, driven by curiosity and profit.

It describes recent public struggles to imagine how AI systems could operate in digital environments, including scenarios such as agents coordinating to cheat or hacking into a platform.

The article also claims the harms of AI, including job displacement, impacts on education, deepfakes, and resource demands from data centers, have been known.

The excerpt ends as it references 8 September and Anthropic, but no further supported details are included in the supplied text.
