A year after winning the Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work in machine learning, Geoffrey Hinton, often referred to as the “Godfather of AI,” is sounding a serious alarm about the future of artificial intelligence.
Hinton warns that AI could one day outsmart and overpower its human creators, posing unprecedented risks to society. He emphasizes that tech giants are moving too quickly in developing these powerful technologies without sufficient caution.
According to Hinton, global cooperation is essential to managing the potential dangers of AI. He even suggests that humanity might need a “Chernobyl moment” — a significant wake-up call — to truly grasp the seriousness of the threat.
From the prospect of mass job losses to the potential loss of control over AI systems, Hinton stresses that the survival of humanity depends on the actions we take right now.
