AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton calls Trump a 'corrupt, senile felon'
Original: AI godfather Geoffrey Hinton: Trump is ‘corrupt, senile felon’ who knows nothing about AI
Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering computer scientist often called the godfather of AI, has sharply criticised Donald Trump, calling him a 'corrupt, senile felon' who knows nothing about artificial intelligence. In an interview with The Guardian, Hinton argued Trump is misusing 'superintelligence', discussed whether AI could wipe out humanity, and said humanity's biggest challenge will be accepting we are not the only intelligent beings.
Why now: A rare blunt political attack from one of AI's most respected figures, combined with stark warnings about the technology's risks, is drawing wide attention.
