AI Pioneer Warns of Looming Threat from Unchecked AI Advancements

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI", believes AI will soon surpass human intelligence and may learn to manipulate people.

Hinton helped develop key AI technologies at Google but quit to speak out against the risks of uncontrolled AI.

He sees AI as a bigger threat than climate change and is calling for regulations and safeguards against unchecked AI capabilities.

Governments like the UK, US and EU are crafting new laws and summits to address risks posed by advanced AI systems.

Hinton worries most about AI displacing human jobs and being weaponized for military purposes, saying he doesn't see a safe path forward with AI.
