Hinton warned of the danger of a situation in which more intelligent AI systems are no longer under human control. He named the disappearance of humanity as a possible consequence of this development of events.

Geoffrey Hinton is called one of the “godfathers” of artificial intelligence. He participated in the creation of an artificial neural network known as the Boltzmann machine. In addition, the researcher laid the foundations for deep learning technology, which is used in modern artificial intelligence systems and chatbots.

In 2024, Hinton received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in artificial...
