AI 'Godfather' Hinton Warns of Superintelligence Boom Amid Nobel Win

Today, Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton delivered a sobering message in Stockholm, predicting superintelligence could surface within 5 to 20 years. Despite celebrating his Nobel Prize in Physics for pioneering machine learning, Hinton lamented not addressing AI safety sooner. He stressed urgent regulation on lethal autonomous weapons, likening it to banning chemical arms. On a lighter note, Hinton plans to donate part of his winnings to Indigenous water projects and support neurodiverse youth—proving he's as compassionate as he is brilliant.
