Geoffrey Hinton’s Dire Warning: AI Could Trigger a Total Breakdown of Society
When Geoffrey Hinton speaks, the tech world pays attention.
Known as one of the “godfathers of AI,” Hinton helped create the deep learning foundations that power today’s generative models.

Now, he is sounding the loudest alarm of his career.
During a public conversation with Senator Bernie Sanders at Georgetown University, Hinton painted a picture of the future that was far darker than the optimistic narratives pushed by Silicon Valley.
The message was blunt. AI will not behave like past technological revolutions, and the social systems we rely on are not ready for what is coming.
