Professor Geoffrey Hinton, a leading scientist in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), and Nobel laureate, has warned that superintelligence could become so powerful that it could threaten all of humanity in the next three years.

Professor Geoffrey Hinton, who played a key role in the development of artificial neural networks (also known as the Godfather of AI), will present his concerns to EU leaders at an informal meeting on artificial intelligence in Dublin, Ireland.

According to him, if highly intelligent machines are not properly monitored and controlled, they could soon become beyond human control and become more intelligent than humans.

The warning comes in the wake of concerns raised during the Hinton Lectures, organised by the AI ​​Safety Foundation in Toronto, where experts considered the possibility that artificial intelligence could also destabilise governments in the future.

Paul Cristiano, founder of the Alignment Research Center, has also warned that the risk of AI overtaking humans is high in the next three years.

He added that a significant threat of this kind could exist in the next six to 12 months.

These concerns from experts highlight the rapidly growing capabilities of AI and the need for effective human oversight over it. However, these predictions relate to potential risks, not certain future events.
