Geoffrey Hinton: "I'm not a doomsayer. I think there's a 1% chance AI destroys us"
Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel laureate in Physics and known as "the godfather of AI", says in an interview with EL PAÍS that he is not a doomsayer, but that there is a significant probability, above 1%, that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity. Hinton, who left his vice-presidency at Google in 2023 to speak freely about the risks, argues that the technology is advancing faster than he expected and calls for state regulation: a chatbot should not be released without first proving its safety to a government agency.
