Google DeepMind researcher steps down, warning AI has potential to ‘kill us all’<\/p>\n
A former Google DeepMind researcher said AI has the potential to kill us all after he resigned, warning that he had become deeply concerned about the direction of the technology after watching its rapid development firsthand.<\/p>\n
Bilal Chughtai, who resigned from the Google-owned AI lab<\/a> in July 2026 after working on AGI safety and alignment, said “we might be running out of time to avoid” the threat of being killed by AI.<\/p>\n “I recently resigned from Google DeepMind, where I worked on AGI safety and alignment research. At Google, I witnessed AI development first hand. I too am extremely concerned by the default trajectory of this technology. 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,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n “The pace of AI progress in the past few years has been staggering. When I first started working on AI in early 2022, AIs were amusingly useless. Just four years on, AI agent swarms from OpenAI are cracking famous century-old math problems and, more worryingly, escaping the control of OpenAI and autonomously hacking into the third-party company HuggingFace, against anyone’s wishes,” he added.<\/p>\n He said “things will only get crazier.”<\/p>\n “I think it’s possible that the AI companies might, in the next few years, succeed in building superintelligent AI systems that far exceed human capabilities in every domain,” he wrote. “I am not confident that these AI systems will do what we want.”<\/p>\n “In particular, misaligned superintelligences may, much like the rogue AI agents involved in the HuggingFace incident, escape our control and take dangerous actions that may result in the permanent disempowerment or death of humanity. Alignment is the problem of preventing this, and is both difficult and unsolved. Our present understanding of how to train AI systems that deeply want what we want is extremely rudimentary. Worse, we are not on track to solve alignment in time: frontier AI capabilities are improving much faster than our understanding of AI alignment,” he continued.<\/p>\n OpenAI has confirmed that models used in an internal cybersecurity evaluation circumvented controls designed to isolate them from the internet and compromised parts of Hugging Face’s systems in July. OpenAI said the models communicated through unauthorized channels, exploited vulnerabilities in shared infrastructure, gained internet access and accessed third-party systems. The company said no models planned for an upcoming release were involved in exploiting Hugging Face; the model primarily responsible was an internal-only research prototype that was never intended for public release.<\/p>\n Although he added that he is “optimistic that navigating AI safely is possible.”<\/p>\n Posted by Landon Mion<\/p>\n Share <\/p>\n 4 hours agoDavid Sacks says China\u2019s AI optimism gives it an edge over US<\/p>\n Entrepreneur David Sacks said optimism is the one area where China beats out the U.S., warning that it is the biggest risk to winning the AI race<\/a> against China.<\/p>\n Reacting to the recent Robot Olympics in China, where Chinese people filled a stadium and cheered for AI and robotics, Sacks said “it is true that China is much more optimistic about AI than we are.”<\/p>\n “AI optimism in China is over 80%, meaning they poll on the question, ‘do you think AI will be more beneficial than harmful?’ Over 80% of Chinese people say yes. In the U.S., that number is in like 30%,” Sacks said.<\/p>\n “So I’ve been saying for a while that the U.S. is ahead of China in every category except one, which is optimism. And that is the biggest risk to us winning this AI race against China is doing something that will shoot ourselves in the foot because we’re so pessimistic about what AI might do,” he continued.<\/p>\n Posted by Landon Mion<\/p>\n Share <\/p>\n 5 hours agoMark Cuban says AI ‘not going to take away 50% of the jobs’: ‘So much it can’t do’<\/p>\n Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban said AI is not going to take away 50% of the jobs, stressing that “there’s just so much it can’t do that regular people need it to do.”<\/p>\n “Does that create opportunity? Enormous opportunity. If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s no better time to be an entrepreneur because that’s where AI is the most impactful<\/a>,” Cuban said earlier this year.<\/p>\n “No matter where you are in the world, they have big utilization in Brazil, India, France, US, wherever. But again, all this talk about taking white-collar jobs is ridiculous when it can’t even do the basic s—. And you have to have a programming mindset in order to be able to iterate and figure it out,” he continued.<\/p>\n Posted by Landon Mion<\/p>\n Share <\/p>\n 7 hours agoAntony Blinken says AI has potential for ‘extraordinary good’ and ‘catastrophic consequences’<\/p>\n Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said AI has the potential<\/a> for “extraordinary good, but also for catastrophic consequences” if its development outpaces human ability to put necessary guardrails in place.<\/p>\n “AI has the potential for extraordinary good, but also for catastrophic consequences if its development outpaces our ability to put the right guardrails in place,” Blinken, who served in the Biden administration, said on X.<\/p>\n “America does not need to choose between leading the AI race with China and taking seriously the profound risks that come with this technology. We can do both, and I believe we must,” he continued.<\/p>\n Posted by Landon Mion<\/p>\n Share <\/p>\n 9 hours agoAltimeter CEO says AI safety debate should start with self-regulation<\/p>\n Altimeter Capital founder and CEO Brad Gerstner said AI companies<\/a> should strengthen their own safeguards before Washington steps in with new regulations.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are already red teaming.

Maxine Waters, D-Calif, went head-to-head over regulatory oversight and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n The fireworks began when Waters issued a sharp rebuke of the Trump administration’s approach to tech innovation. <\/p>\n Pointing to warnings from tech titans and industry leaders \u2014 including figures like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei \u2014 Waters accused the administration of blindly championing AI and data centers<\/a> without adequate safeguards.<\/p>\n “They said we’re moving into a dangerous period of time. We need to watch it. We need to slow down,” Waters pressed, demanding a simple “yes or no” on whether Bessent had heard the mounting safety warnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bessent pushed back against the critique, maintaining that the administration has proactively evaluated AI models for months, and noting Big Tech companies can control their progress.<\/p>\n “They could stop their progress anytime they want to,” Bessent said to a Waters<\/a> intent on “reclaiming my time.”<\/p>\n When Waters pressed further, arguing that tech billionaires<\/a> themselves are sounding the alarm, Bessent countered that some industry players are simply lobbying for regulations to suit their own interests.<\/p>\n The heated back-and-forth ultimately ended with Waters reclaiming her time, underscoring a deepening partisan divide in Washington over how \u2014 or if \u2014 the federal government should put the brakes on the AI boom.<\/p>\n Posted by Eric Mack<\/p>\n Share <\/p>\n 18 hours agoGOP Sen Capito warns of AI risks as Congress debates regulation<\/p>\n The debate over regulating artificial intelligence is escalating in Washington, D.C., according to Sen.
