Anthropic’s AI Safety Chief Quits: “The World Is in Peril”

The head of the Safeguards Research Team at Anthropic, Mrinank Sharma, has resigned from the company, stating his last day as February 9th, 2026.

He shared a two-page letter to his X account and said “the world is in peril”, not just from artificial intelligence (AI) or bioweapons, but from what he said was a “whole series of interconnected crises unfolding” currently.


Amid growing debate of job uncertainty and rapid evolution of AI, Anthropic released new tools designed to automate work tasks in various industries. This move further triggered fears that the innovations would harm many businesses.
