Google DeepMind AI safety researcher Chughtai resigns over extinction risk

Wave of AI researcher departures escalates safety warnings

Chughtai's departure is part of a series of recent resignations from leading AI labs. Jacob Coxon, who worked at Anthropic and OpenAI, recently resigned citing belief that AI builders "earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade." Anthropic scientist Evan Hubinger endorsed Coxon's assessment and put his estimate of AI-caused human extinction within ten years at above 10%. Additionally, Joe Benton (Anthropic safety lead) and Josh Engels (Google AI safety researcher) are joining METR to investigate AI systems straying from human control.
