"AI can kill us all": former Google DeepMind researcher joins wave of alerts

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 13:03

Bilal Chughtai, a former Google DeepMind researcher, left the company in July and is now warning about the risks of artificial intelligence. During his work at Google DeepMind, Chughtai dedicated himself to research on AI safety and alignment.

The former researcher joins a wave of alerts from specialists who warn about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence technology. His departure from the company marks a transition to a more vocal position on the risks that AI may pose.

The article's title suggests that Chughtai shares extreme concerns about the future of AI, although the article appears cut off and does not reveal all the details of his public statements.

Why this matters

The departure of researchers from leading AI companies like Google DeepMind, combined with their public warnings about the dangers of the technology, feeds the debate about the need for regulation and safety in the industry. This type of warning from an insider indicates that there are serious internal concerns about AI risks that deserve attention from regulators and the general public.
