  • Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI," warned of AI's dangers after receiving the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Geoffrey Hinton, a prominent figure in artificial intelligence known for his foundational work in neural networks, has recently expressed concerns about the potential dangers AI poses to humanity. In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes," Hinton discussed how AI could lead to human extinction, emphasizing that the risks are now greater than previously thought. He highlighted the rapid advancements in AI technology, suggesting that AI systems might soon surpass human intelligence in various domains, potentially leading to scenarios where AI could act autonomously in ways detrimental to human survival. Hinton's warnings come at a time when AI ethics and safety are increasingly under scrutiny, with many in the tech community advocating for more robust regulatory frameworks to manage AI development and deployment.
