Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” fears the technology he helped build could wipe out humanity — and “tech bros” are taking the wrong approach to stop it.
It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, that is the capitalist system,” Hinton said. Awarded the Nobel Prize last year for his pioneering work in AI, Hinton has increasingly raised alarm over the risks of unchecked technological progress.

AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton warns that this economic shift will severely affect entry-level jobs while enriching the few, casting doubt on commonly proposed solutions like retraining and universal basic income.
Computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton: 'AI will make a few people much richer and most people poorer' The 'godfather of artificial intelligence' discusses humanity's 'only hope,' why China has an advantage - and when machines will surpass us.
It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, that is the capitalist system.” That echos comments he gave to Fortune last month, when he said AI companies are more concerned with short-term profits than the long-term consequences of the technology.
Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton has warned that AI will concentrate wealth among a small elite while impoverishing most workers. The computer scientist, who pioneered neural network research in the 1980s, told Financial Times that rich people will use AI to replace workers, creating massive unemploym...
