Geoffrey Hinton, the British-Canadian scientist nicknamed the 'Godfather of AI', just upgraded his doomsday prediction: Artificial Intelligence now has a 10-20% chance of wiping out humanity within 30 years. 🤯
In a chilling BBC Radio 4 interview, Hinton compared future human-AI dynamics to 'toddlers trying to control adults' 🧒➡️👩💻. His reasoning? AI learns at turbo speed – 'Imagine 10,000 people instantly sharing knowledge' – and could soon outsmart us completely.
The tech pioneer admits even he’s shocked by AI’s rapid evolution: 'We’re building a new type of intelligence. It’s scary.' His biggest fears? Rogue AI systems and bad actors using the tech for harm. 💥
But there’s hope! Hinton’s calling for urgent government regulation 🚨, arguing corporations alone can’t be trusted with this Pandora’s box. Will world leaders listen before the clock runs out? ⏰
