AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton: ‘We’re creating alien beings. I’m willing to be selfish and choose humans’

Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in AI, warns that AI models pose existential risks to humanity, estimating a 10-20% chance of human extinction due to AI in coming decades. He criticizes industry leaders like Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang, who dismisses these concerns as unscientific. Hinton emphasizes the importance of acknowledging serious risks rather than dismissing alarmist views.
