"Artificial Intelligence Godfather" Geoffrey Hinton believes that there is a 10% to 20% chance of artificial intelligence leading to human extinction within the next 30 years. He warned that the pace of technological change is much faster than expected.

This year, Hinton was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to AI, and he previously stated that there is a 10% chance that AI technology could lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. When asked by BBC Radio 4's Today program whether his analysis of the potential AI apocalypse and the 10% likelihood has changed, he said: "Nothing has changed, it's still 10% to 20%." (Jinshi)
