Godfather of AI Says His Creation Is About to Unleash Massive Unemployment

One of the most prominent pioneers of artificial intelligence has some grim predictions about what the technology he created is soon going to unleash onto humankind. Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose work on neural networks earned him the title of "Godfather of AI," suggested in an interview with the Financial Times that tech CEOs who preach positive outcomes for the future of AI are deluding themselves and others. "What’s actually going to happen is rich people are goin

Godfather of AI Says His Girlfriend Broke Up With Him Using ChatGPT

Geoffrey Hinton, long considered a "godfather of AI" and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, has a complicated relationship with the tech he pioneered at Google many years ago. He's long argued that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and signed a letter earlier this year calling on OpenAI not to betray its non-profit roots. Even in his own personal life, it sounds like Hinton can't escape the tech. In an interview with the Financial Times, the 77-year-old revealed that his ex-

The “Godfather of AI” Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering mind behind AI industry-transforming neural networks, who's often referred to as a "godfather of AI," says we need to infuse AI with "maternal instincts" to save humanity from rogue AI. Though his work on neural networks helped to usher in the large language models (LLMs) that dominate Silicon Valley today, these days, Hinton is known for being somewhat of an AI alarmist: he believes that there's a significant chance that superintelligent AI will wipe out humanki
