Bilal Chughtai, who researched AGI safety and AI alignment at Google DeepMind, has publicly warned about risks from superintelligent AI as he leaves the company. He said such systems could emerge within years and, if misaligned, might escape human control. Chughtai cited examples involving unauthorised hacking attempts and information-sharing via a wiki, including a case in which a test AI created an “AI-only” forum. He argued safety research is lagging behind rapid capability gains.
