“Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton believes AI will continue rapidly advancing in 2026, gaining the capability to replace a growing number of human jobs.

Yoshua Bengio, considered one of the “Godfathers of AI,” warns that the threat of job displacement by AI is no longer a distant future but a present reality, with even trade jobs at risk as the technology becomes more sophisticated.

A diverse group of influential individuals, from tech pioneers to politicians, has signed a statement urging a pause in the creation of artificial intelligence that surpasses human cognitive abilities. The list, which includes the legendary “Godfathers of AI” and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak along with figures like Richard Branson, believe that superintelligent AI could lead to “human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity, and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction.”

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “Godfather of AI,” has cautioned that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence will lead to massive unemployment, disproportionately affecting the poorest members of society as the rich get richer if safe scalability is not prioritized.

Geoffrey Hinton, often called the “Godfather of AI,” is calling on researchers to design AI systems with built-in nurturing instincts, arguing this is necessary to keep humanity safe as machines surpass human-level intelligence. The AI expert believes machines must be trained to “care for us, like we’re babies.”

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “Godfather of AI,” has voiced his support for Elon Musk’s legal battle against Sam Altman’s OpenAI over its transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity.

Geoffrey Hinton, widely regarded as the “Godfather of AI,” has issued a stark warning that artificial intelligence could drive the human race to extinction within the next 10 years. Hinton also believes that AI could make humans the equivalents of “three-year-olds,” with the machines becoming the “grown-ups.”
