Ex-Google DeepMind researcher adds to warnings that AI could 'kill all humans'
Bilal Chughtai said advanced AI could kill humans and warned time may be running out to prevent catastrophic harm.
- On Monday, former Google DeepMind staffer Bilal Chughtai wrote on social media that he is "extremely concerned by the default trajectory" of AI, stating "I earnestly believe that AI has the potential to kill us all."
- Public alarm is growing after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned last week, stating that "people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a 3,800-word essay urging a development slowdown over the weekend, winning rare backing from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceXAI chief Elon Musk. Scientist Evan Hubinger estimated a greater than 10% chance of catastrophe.
- The viral warnings attracted more than 150 million views and sparked national debate, though President Donald Trump dismissed the industry's calls for regulation as a "hoax" on social media.
- Chughtai, who left Google DeepMind in July 2026, now works for BlueDot Impact, a non-profit training professionals in AI safety. His departure reflects broader industry concerns about the pace of development.
