Geoffrey Hinton

Nobelpreisgekrönter Pionier der neuronalen Netze, der Google 2023 verließ, um zu warnen, digitale Intelligenz könne den Menschen überflügeln und seiner Kontrolle entgleiten; die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer KI-verursachten Auslöschung innerhalb von Jahrzehnten beziffert er auf 10 bis 20 Prozent.

  1. 22. Apr. 2026 · Rede · Digital World Conference, Geneva (via AFP)

    We don't know whether we can co-exist with super intelligent AI … But we are constructing it … we should be careful to construct in a way where we still continue to exist

    Co-founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, Vector Institute zu jener Zeit

    Spoke by video link; also said only "maybe 1%" of AI work goes into making it safer.

    He helped build AI. Now he is sounding the alarm about what comes next for everyone →

  2. 10. Jan. 2025 · Interview · WBUR On Point

    Superintelligence is coming, and nobody knows how we can control that.

    Co-founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, Vector Institute zu jener Zeit

    Radio interview first broadcast 10 January 2025 and rebroadcast 29 December 2025; he restates his 10–20% extinction estimate.

    The ‘Godfather of AI’ says we can’t afford to get it wrong →

  3. 10. Dez. 2024 · Rede · Nobel Prize banquet, Stockholm

    There is also a longer term existential threat that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves. We have no idea whether we can stay in control.

  4. 30. Mai 2023 · Erklärung · Center for AI Safety

    Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.

  5. 2. Mai 2023 · Interview · MIT Technology Review

    These things are totally different from us. Sometimes I think it's as if aliens had landed and people haven't realized because they speak very good English.

    Co-founder and Chief Scientific Advisor, Vector Institute zu jener Zeit

    Interview given the day after he announced he had left Google.
