“AI Godfather Geoffrey Hinton Warns of Alien Beings, Calls Trump 'Corrupt, Senile Felon'” — what this page in the network covers. Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering computer scientist known as the 'godfather of AI,' issued stark warnings about artificial intelligence in a wide-ranging interview, describing AI models as 'alien beings' that pose an existential threat to humanity. Hinton, whose foundational work helped create modern AI, has become one of its most vocal critics, joining a growing chorus of senior researchers raising alarms about losing control of the technology.
He dismissed the notion that the industry can regulate itself and criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him a 'corrupt, senile felon' and saying Trump's use of the term 'superintelligence' shows he knows nothing about AI. Hinton's comments come amid an industry crisis, with congressional meetings hastily assembled and a rare global consensus emerging that action is needed.
