A former Google DeepMind researcher has warned that artificial intelligence could “kill us all” — adding to a growing chorus of insiders sounding alarms about a technology that President Trump has dismissed as a doomsday “hoax.”
uncertain
Trump → warn → hoax
Bilal Chughtai, who recently resigned from the Google-owned AI lab after working on AGI safety and alignment, said Monday that he had become deeply worried about the direction of the technology after watching its rapid development firsthand.
“I earnestly believe that AI has the potential to kill us all, and that we might be running out of time to avoid this outcome,” Chughtai wrote in posts on X and LinkedIn.
uncertain
Chughtai → resign → X
Chughtai said he was “not confident” that such systems would behave as humans intend, warning that misaligned AI could escape human control and take actions resulting in “the permanent disempowerment or death of humanity.”
“Alignment is the problem of preventing this, and is both difficult and unsolved,” he wrote.
uncertain
he → say → this
“Our present understanding of how to train AI systems that deeply want what we want is extremely rudimentary.”
asserted
we → train → what
Chughtai nevertheless said he believes AI can still be developed safely — but only if tech firms pull back from what he described as a “manic race” to build ever-more-powerful systems.
asserted
he → say → systems
“We need to pace AI development to a speed that society can handle, where emerging risks can be addressed before extreme harm is realized,” he wrote.
asserted
he → need → that
Chughtai has since joined BlueDot Impact, a nonprofit that trains people to work on AI safety, according to Bloomberg.
uncertain
that → join → Bloomberg
His warning comes just days after Jacob Coxon, a former researcher at Anthropic and OpenAI, quit and accused the companies developing the technology of “gambling with our lives.”
asserted
Coxon → come → lives
“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade,” Coxon wrote in a post on X.
The concerns have spilled into the industry’s executive suites.
uncertain
concerns → build → suites
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined the push over the weekend, urging the industry to put the brakes on its most powerful AI models — with OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk publicly backing his call.
asserted
Altman → join → call
Amodei has argued that coordinating such a slowdown will be difficult because the incentives to race ahead — including the potential military advantage — are so great.
asserted
incentives → argue → advantage
“I think that’s going to be very difficult because the incentives to pull ahead and the military advantage that you get from that are so large,” Amodei told CBS News’ “Sunday Morning.”
asserted
Amodei → think → Morning
“And honestly, I don’t know if it’s possible, but we should try.”
asserted
we → know → ?
Trump, however, sharply rejected the warnings Monday, calling fears that AI could destroy humanity a “HOAX” and alleging a “SICK conspiracy” against AI and data centers that would benefit China.
uncertain
that → reject → China
Trump dismissed the push for stronger regulation while emphasizing the strategic importance of maintaining the US lead in AI.
asserted
Trump → dismiss → AI
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, according to reports.
uncertain
Trump → need → reports
The president also singled out Amodei, accusing the Anthropic chief of pretending to be a “perfect little angel” while arguing that the federal government already has sufficient criminal and regulatory powers over AI companies.
asserted
government → single → companies
“They might agree to some limited safeguards but that would be the outer limits for the administration,” one top Wall Street executive with knowledge of the administration’s thinking told The Post.
uncertain
executive → agree → Post
The administration is instead leaning toward industry self-regulation and other narrowly tailored guardrails, according to The Post’s reporting — reflecting its concern that more sweeping restrictions could hand an advantage to China.
uncertain
restrictions → lean → China
