'Godfather of AI' Foresees Catastrophic Threat to Humanity: Media"Losing control over AI smarter than ourselves could even lead to human extinction," said Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize laureate and a former Google executive known for his work on artificial neural networks, cited by the media. He also called on the government to prohibit the development of superpowerful AI systems.ℹ Earlier, Hinton said that in developing AI, people "are creating a new kind of being" that will surpass humans in most intellectual tasks within five to 20 years.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
