'Godfather Of AI' warns of 'Chernobyl-like' disaster soon, says 'Musk, Altman don't give a shit'

Geoffrey Hinton, known as "Godfather of AI", warned that an AI-related crisis could hit soon, potentially disrupting power supplies or crippling financial systems. Comparing it to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, he said, "Either later this year or next year we'll see Chernobyl." "I think Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Sam Altman understand...risks, and they don't give a shit," he added.
