Geoffrey Hinton's Warning on AI

Описание: In this episode, Siddharth Shukla and Saurabh Mukherjee examine Geoffrey Hinton’s warning on Artificial Intelligence and why it has sent shockwaves through the tech world. Often called the “Godfather of AI,” Hinton now cautions that rapidly advancing AI systems may outpace human control, disrupt jobs, and pose serious long-term risks.

We break down what he actually means, separating real concerns from exaggeration, and explore the ethical, economic, and technological implications of unchecked AI development. Can regulation keep up? And what responsibility do researchers and governments carry?

A thoughtful albeit speculative discussion on AI’s future and humanity’s place in it.
