..has someone had a polite word with them about not killing all humans by sheer accident?

If you believe this, Deepmind had to push for an ethics board which suggests that people are mentioning it to Google and that Google is not taking the issue too seriously.

That interpretation seems tenuous. The sentence in which "pushed" is used:

The DeepMind-Google ethics board, which DeepMind pushed for, will devise rules for how Google can and can't use the technology.

suggests nothing more than that the proposal originated with DeepMind. I may as well imagine that Google's apparent amenability to the arrangement augurs well.

(Unless the article goes on to explain further? Not a subscriber.)

I'd expect their ethics board will in any case not be about the risk of killing all humans, but about things like privacy issues and the more mundane safety issues that you get when you connect a machine learning thing to a robot (or a car).

but about things like privacy issues

I'm sure Google will be right on that.
