A former Google DeepMind researcher has joined growing warnings over the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence, saying AI could “kill us all” and that time may be running out to prevent such an outcome.

Bilal Chughtai, who worked as a research engineer on AGI safety and alignment at Google DeepMind, said he recently resigned from the company. In a post on X, he said he “earnestly” believed AI had the potential to cause human extinction and called for greater caution in the development of advanced AI systems.

His comments follow similar warnings from Anthropic researchers, including Jacob Coxon and Evan Hubinger. Hubinger said he believed there was a greater than 10% chance that AI could kill all humans within the next decade. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has also called for a slowdown in the pace of advanced AI development, receiving backing from Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Chughtai said AI could be developed safely, but only with greater coordination among technology companies. He called for AI development to proceed at a pace society can manage, allowing emerging risks to be addressed before extreme harm occurs. US President Donald Trump, however, has dismissed calls for increased regulation of the AI industry, describing them as a “hoax.”
