"Making these systems behave in a reasonable way is much like making a child behave in a reasonable way." 2024 physics laureate and pioneer in artificial intelligence, Geoffrey Hinton, discusses the question currently captivating society – what are the potential implications when AI surpasses human intelligence? Hinton played a... key role in developing foundational techniques in modern AI, including backpropagation and deep neural networks, which form the basis for technologies such as ChatGPT, facial recognition, and autonomous vehicles. Prior to his resignation in 2023, he was a long-standing researcher at Google, where he contributed significantly to their AI advancements. He now publicly emphasises the importance of addressing the associated risks of AI development. Watch our full interview:show more

"I think that's our only hope, for it being much starter than us, but still keeping us around." To co-exist with advanced AI, Geoffrey Hinton argues, we must design systems that develop strong maternal instincts towards humanity.

It was an honour to speak at the Ai updates 2023 in the UK earlier today alongside other ministers of ICT. The summit is a gathering of global stakeholders including governments, leading AI companies, experts in research and civil society groups. As a nation of innovators and entrepreneurs, Nigeria must recognise the significance of Artificial Intelligence and the urgent need to explore and use it for the good of humanity. I would also like to thank the UK Government for inviting us to be part of the UK AI for Development Programme which will support our efforts to improve AI research and inclusive datasets. This partnership is a recognition of our commitment to the growth of AI in Nigeria as outlined in our Strategic Blueprint and evidenced by our initial launch of the National AI Research Scheme. #NigerianExcellence

AI progress is outpacing our ability to control it… because control ISN’T keeping up with capability. One of the people raising that concern is Yoshua Bengio. He’s one of the founding figures of artificial intelligence, a Turing Award winner, and one of the most-cited scientists in the world. His work helped lay the foundations for the deep-learning systems now powering today’s AI boom. AI is moving fast (faster than regulation and public understanding). What worries Yoshua isn’t progress itself. It’s how quickly powerful systems are being deployed without a clear way to align them with human values, or to control what happens when they behave in unexpected ways.

Ilya Sutskever has a solution for when AI surpasses human intelligence in every domain — and he hates that he believes it. He fears a future where AI handles everything flawlessly, leaving humans with no role to play. "Every person will have an AI that will do their bidding. The AI goes and earns money for the person, advocates for their needs in the political sphere, and the person says 'great, keep it up.'" But as Ilya Sutskever warns: "The person is no longer a participant. And that's a precarious place to be in." Political and social structures have a shelf life, Ilya points out. They function, then decay. As the Buddhists say, change is the only constant. So how do you maintain long-term equilibrium between humans and superintelligent AI? Ilya offers a solution he wishes he didn't believe in: Human-AI integration. "If people become part AI with some kind of Neuralink++, now the AI understands something and we understand it too. You are involved in the situation yourself fully." In Ilya's view, this is the answer to the equilibrium. Surviving isn't the hard part. The hard part is remaining a participant in a world shaped by intelligence beyond our comprehension.

Geoffrey Hinton says the best-case future is a “symbiosis between people and AI” -- where machines handle the mundane, and humans live more interesting lives. But in the kind of society we have now, he warns, AI won't free most people. It will concentrate power, and discard the rest.

"$37 TRILLION AND CHEAP AI": Dmitriev on why Russia will become the center of the world in 10 years 📌 What awaits Russia in 10-15 years? 📌 Why is energy becoming more important than oil? 📌 Who will win the AI race? RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev spoke at the Knowledge.First marathon about the role Russia will play in the world in 10-15 years—and why the key to the future lies in energy and artificial intelligence. Russia is already among the world's largest economies and possesses colossal resources—approximately $37 trillion. But the country's greatest asset, according to Dmitriev, is its people: educated, motivated, and talented. He paid special attention to the future of artificial intelligence. He believes AI will become the key factor in global competition, determining the quality of life and level of development for countries. And here, Russia has a significant advantage thanks to one of the cheapest energy sources in the world—a key resource for the development of data centers and neural networks. Dmitriev also emphasized the role of partnerships with countries in the Global South and a new model of cooperation without pressure or sanctions.

Why are CEOs of AI companies privately warning about the extinction of humans? To understand that, I’m joined by someone who helped build the field… Stuart Russell is one of the world’s leading AI researchers. He co-wrote Artificial Intelligence*: ‘*A Modern Approach’ - the textbook used to train AI engineers in more than 1,500 universities. He has spent decades advising governments and global leaders on the safety and control of advanced AI. Right now, the people building the most powerful AI systems are raising alarms in private that they rarely voice in public. Some estimate up to a 25% chance that AI could lead to human extinction… Stuart has heard these conversations directly. He believes we’re in a race we don’t really understand, pushed by incentives no one is really controlling.

Geoffrey Hinton says he quit Google because the company wouldn't listen to what he'd discovered about AI. Hinton spent 50 years building the math behind neural networks. He won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for it. Then he walked away from a seven-figure salary to deliver one warning. Here's what Google's "Godfather of AI" has been saying: In 2012, Hinton and two students built AlexNet. It crushed ImageNet so decisively it ended the neural network debate overnight. Google hired his team for $44 million. For the next decade, Hinton helped build Google's AI division. He watched the models get smarter. He watched them get harder to understand. He told the New York Times: "I left so I could talk about the dangers without worrying about how it affects Google." The danger he named was specific. AI systems are learning faster than their creators can track what they've learned. Google's response: thanked him publicly and changed nothing. The institution doesn't suppress the warning. It thanks the messenger and keeps building. The system that profits from the risk will never be the one that stops it. Genius warning or premature alarm? One lens worth keeping: when the person who built the system warns you about it, the warning is worth more than the system's reassurances.

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics, human dignity, labor displacement, and regulating artificial intelligence. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight with the Trump administration over AI safety and military use of its technology. Anthropic has publicly resisted pressure around autonomous warfare systems and built its brand around AI safety and “constitutional AI.” The Church is signaling that AI isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a moral, political, and civilization-level fight now.

This Google insider just revealed what AI is actually being used for behind closed doors. It has nothing to do with chatbots. Mo Gawdat was a senior executive at Google for over a decade. He watched AI get built from the inside. He was in the rooms, in the labs, in the government meetings in China that almost no Western executive was allowed into. And he just went on Diary of a CEO and said things that no active tech executive would ever be allowed to say publicly: "What the general public sees about AI is overhyped but ineffective. What the real geeks see inside the lab is genuinely world-changing." The public gets chatbots and AI-generated videos while the labs are building autonomous weapons systems, military targeting technology, real-time surveillance infrastructure, and self-improving code that rewrites itself every microsecond without human oversight. As Mo put it: "As we speak, we are living in two major wars where AI is doing most of the killing." He talked about Palantir's CEO Alex Karp openly celebrating how his targeting technology identifies and eliminates people. He talked about the next generation of autonomous weapons costing $20,000 each, meaning any government with a $50 billion defense budget can literally rain drones on every corner of the planet. And as you remember, Anthropic was offered a $500 million military contract to allow their AI to be used for human targeting and surveillance. They refused and walked away from the money. OpenAI took the contract the following week. Mo's response: "You have to start observing who is actually behaving in a way that makes AI work for humanity, and who is behaving in a way that makes AI work for their share price." Now this is where it gets really interesting... In Mo's documentary Chasing Utopia, Altman literally says directly on camera: "I suspect that AI is likely going to end humanity, but we're going to create a lot of interesting companies in the process." That is the CEO of the most powerful AI company on Earth saying that he suspects his OWN technology will end the human race and then shrugging it off because the business opportunity is too good to pass up. Mo's prediction for the next decade: War, economic collapse, mass unemployment, surveillance expansion, and an absolute concentration of power at the top unlike anything in modern history. His prediction after that is if humanity survives the next 10 years, AI will eventually create a world of abundance where intelligence solves every problem we currently face. But the path between here and there is what terrifies him. And the men building the technology know exactly what they're doing. Do you think he's just exaggerating for attention, or is there truth in this?
