In this episode, Nobel Prize-winning AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, often called the "godfather of AI," explains how his decades-long belief in modeling artificial intelligence on the human brain shaped today's technology, and why he left Google to speak openly about its dangers. He warns that AI could one day surpass human intelligence, posing risks both from misuse by people and from systems that might decide they no longer need us. The conversation also touches on the gaps in current regulati...
