Geoffrey Hinton, a leading figure in artificial intelligence development, sometimes called the ‘Godfather of AI,’ has indicated he feels a sense of relief knowing a potential AI ‘takeover’ is likely several decades away, beyond his own expected lifetime. In a recent interview, Hinton, 77, acknowledged the rapid advancements and immense potential of AI, but also recognized the growing concerns surrounding its ethical and societal implications. He suggested the more drastic risks associated with advanced AI are unlikely to fully materialize within his remaining years. This observation, originally reported on Reddit by user /u/thisisinsider, underscores the ongoing debate about the future of AI and its impact on humanity.
