Quote of the day by legendary computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton: 'If we don't figure out how to make it safe, there's a real possibility it could destroy us' — a stark alarm on the existential risks of AI
Known as the 'Godfather of AI' for his work throughout the decades in pioneering the underlying architecture behind the intelligent systems we use daily, Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton has added his voice to the already saturated chorus projecting a possible AI doomsday scenario within our lifetime.
Existential risks
Speaking in a CNN segment, Geoffrey Hinton was asked if AI could really destroy humanity, as many other voices have posited over the years – and especially in recent weeks.
