2024 Nobel Prize in Physics Recipient Geoffrey Hinton Sounds the AlarmIn an interview in 2023, Hinton said "generative intelligence could spread misinformation and, eventually, threaten humanity." He said, “I’m sounding the alarm, saying we have to worry about this,” he said at the EmTech Digital conference, hosted by MIT Technology Review. He said he is concerned about the "increasingly powerful machines’ ability to outperform humans in ways that are not in the best interest of humanity, and the likely inability to limit AI development."
