CoinVoice has learned that, according to Jin Shi reports, 'the godfather of artificial intelligence' Geoffrey Hinton believes there is a 10% to 20% chance that artificial intelligence could lead to human extinction within the next 30 years. He warns 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 if his analysis of the potential AI apocalypse and the 10% likelihood has changed, he said: 'Nothing has changed, 10% to 20%.' [Original link]
