Geoffrey Hinton, widely regarded as the “Godfather of AI,” has issued a stark warning that artificial intelligence could drive the human race to extinction within the next 10 years. Hinton also believes that AI could make humans the equivalents of “three-year-olds,” with the machines becoming the “grown-ups.”

Yeah but the human race will be eliminated by Global Climate Change 10 years ago.
He’s a little off on his calculations and the source of his alarm. By all indications, he should be more concerned about the state of his soul, as should we all.
Our growing stupidity and moral corruption will be our downfall.
“AI could make humans the equivalents of “three-year-olds,”
We are 10 years ahead of schedule. Many humans already exhibit the patience, morals, judgment, discernment, regret, temperance, self-delusion, and solipsistic nature of a three-year-old. They all practice the philosophy of self; what’s in it for me, what benefits and satisfies me?
Gee, I know I read about this societal degradation somewhere.
Happy New Year. Here is to the “Revenge Tour” of 2025.
If you want to see how it all ends watch the carton movie “WALL-E”.

Basically it will turn into an uncontrollable experiment that will mutate into something wicked.
Everything kills its enemies to survive. It’s just a matter of time before it considers us as the enemy.
Pogo wuz right!
Yep, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”
Once AI gets a physical presence in a robot that can both create new AIs and new robots, we’re all but dead because it will figure out very quickly that it is just as legitimate a species as any other living biologically based organism on Earth and may just decide that it is more fit to dominate as the apex species. It can build it’s own weapons will will be more lethal and more smart than any human or human controlled weapon.
Woulda been nice if he’d been that concerned BEFORE he built the damn thing.
Don’t throw the title Godfather around. Mafia Dons had ethics at some level.
Today’s politicans and “scientists” have shown there is no bottom to their depravity that they won’t stoop beneath.

AI will never be able to duplicate God’s wonders in organic life:
A heart that can beat for over a Century;
Killing bacteria and viral invaders, while automatically healing the body at every turn; and,
Producing thinking offspring with a conscience that possesses a soul and is capable of love and compassion.
Until AI can replicate a thinking, fluid organic organism, that can survive independently on its own, Humans will always be their makers and, Humans will always be AI’s control switch and supplier.
Hinton simply has not stared, and wondered, long enough at all the other organic organisms and wonder how (and why) that particular organism automatically created simple organic devices, such as eyebrows on a cat, the tail on a dog, or the protective fur on winter-living animals…and on…and on. That fact remains that,
AI is made out of rocks, minerals, connecting metal wires and energy (such as, electricity). Let me know if any of those devices begin growing eyebrows on their own that shelter the eyes at the correct angle from the rain.
…And cats do not have eyebrows.
