'Godfather of AI' says he's 'glad' to be 77 because the tech probably won't take over the world in his lifetime | Hinton compared AI development to raising a tiger cub that could turn deadly.
Geoffrey Hinton estimated a "sort of 10 to 20% chance" that AI systems could one day seize control, but stressed it's impossible to predict exactly.
A scientist whose work helped transform the field of artificial intelligence says he's "kind of glad" to be 77 — because he may not live long enough to witness the technology's potentially dangerous consequences. Hinton estimated a "sort of 10 to 20% chance" that AI systems could eventually seize control, though he stressed that it's impossible to predict exactly. Hinton also warned that global competition between tech companies and nations makes it "very, very unlikely" that humanity will avoid building superintelligence.
