According to PANews, Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of artificial intelligence" who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on artificial intelligence, warned that the probability of AI causing human extinction in the next 30 years is between 10% and 20%.
Hinton pointed out that the development speed of AI technology is "far beyond expectations" and AI systems that exceed human intelligence may be difficult to control. He called on the government to strengthen supervision of AI technology.
Hinton emphasized that a large number of experts in the field of AI predict that AI systems that are smarter than humans will appear in the next 20 years, which poses a major threat to humans.
Meta chief scientist Yann LeCun holds a different view, believing that AI may save humanity from extinction.
