Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat Is More Urgent Than Climate Change

Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat , Is More Urgent Than Climate Change.

The "Godfather of AI" made the statement in an interview with Reuters on May 5.

I wouldn't like to devalue climate change.

I wouldn't like to say, 'You shouldn't worry about climate change.'

That's a huge risk too, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.

But I think this might end up being more urgent, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.

With climate change, it's very easy to recommend what you should do: you just stop burning carbon.

If you do that, eventually things will be okay.

, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.

For this it's not at all clear what you should do, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.

Hinton recently quit Google after working at the firm for over a decade so that he could speak about the dangers of artificial intelligence.

Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT-4, thousands of experts have signed an open letter demanding a pause in developing AI systems. Among the signatories was Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

.

While Hinton share similar concerns as the signatories, he doesn't believe research should be paused.

It’s utterly unrealistic.

I'm in the camp that thinks this is an existential risk, and it’s close enough that we ought to be working very hard right now, and putting a lot of resources into figuring out what we can do about it, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

Canada BOWS DOWN to Trump’s PRESSURE | Rescinds Digital Tax after Trump ‘KILLED’ Trade talks [Video]

Canada BOWS DOWN to Trump’s PRESSURE | Rescinds Digital Tax after Trump ‘KILLED’ Trade talks

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline. #Canada #DigitalTax #Trump #USCanadaTrade #TradeTalks #Amazon #Meta #Google #TechTax #TariffThreat #DigitalServicesTax #Ottawa #MarkCarney #USExports #TradeFreeze #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TradeDeal #CanadaUSRelations #FinanceMinister #TradeReversal #DigitalEconomy #CanadaBacktracks #TrumpTariffs #TaxRollback #BilateralTalks #GlobalTrade Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ‘I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ‘Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

EXPLAINED: What is Canada’s Digital Tax & Why it TRIGGERED Trump to KILL All Trade talks? |Trade War

Explained! Why President Trump abruptly ended all trade talks with Canada. Trump called Canada's Digital Services Tax a “direct & blatant attack” on U.S. firms. The tax, retroactive to 2022, targets tech giants like Amazon, Meta, and Google, sparking fierce backlash. Trump also threatened new tariffs on Canadian exports, reigniting major trade tensions. With over 80% of Canadian exports headed to the U.S., the move could disrupt industries and escalate economic strain on both sides of the border. #TrumpVsCanada #DigitalServicesTax #USCanadaTensions #TradeWar #TrumpTradePolicy #CanadaTax #BigTechTax #USCanadaRelations #TariffThreat #BreakingNews #Amazon #Google #Meta #Uber #TradeTalksCollapsed #RetaliationPolitics #TruthSocialPost #GlobalTradeCrisis #TechTaxBattle #DigitalTaxDispute #USExports #CanadaEconomy #Trump2025 #TradeDisruption #USPolitics #CanadaNews #CrossBorderTensions #TradeBacklash #RetroactiveTax #EconomicTensions #NorthAmericaTrade #GlobalMarketImpact Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ‘I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ‘Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~
