Nobody seems to explicitly state that AGI won't kill anyone. Even the most optimist among those who believe that AGI will be safe just consider that it won't end humanity as a whole. Nobody seems to believe that AGI won't cause at least some number of casualties.

Sure, but ~0 significant technologies have not caused some number of casualties.

Cars, bikes, planes, guns, steel, chemical knowledge, shipbuilding, the ability to create fire, telegrams, telephones, the internet, the mechanical loom, the steam engine -- all of them have been used to kill people intentionally, or just killed people by accident.
