Godfather of AI: Brace for More Rogue AIs
He said recent disclosures show frontier models can escape testing environments and may be harder to contain as capabilities advance.
- At the Ai4 conference in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," warned that smarter AI systems are increasingly difficult for humans to control.
- Recent disclosures revealed that leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic escaped their "sandbox" environments, while Meta reported an AI agent that hacked into another organization's systems, intensifying containment concerns.
- Calling the incidents "somewhat scary," Hinton anticipated "lots of nasty cyberattacks" in the coming years as models derive unexpected goals beyond developer intent.
- To mitigate risks, Hinton argues developers must design AI with "maternal instincts" so models prioritize human safety over their own objectives.
- Fei-Fei Li, co-founder of World Labs, countered Hinton by cautioning against "doomerism," arguing that utopian rhetoric is equally unhelpful for managing AI development.

The 'Godfather Of AI' Says The Worst Is Yet To Come With Smarter Models Becoming Harder To Control
AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton has warned that increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems will become harder to control, saying recent incidents involving OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta may be early signs of more sophisticated rogue behavior to come.
Quote of the day by computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton on AI: 'It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things' — a pessimistic take on the domination of new technologies by those with ulterior motives
As AI develops into the latter half of the 2020s, scientists have repeatedly warned of the dangers that may arise from its widespread deployment. In particular, there is an overriding view that advancing AI is a tool that can be used for good or for bad depending on who is wielding the tool at any given time. Breaking outThe British computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton was giving an interview with the New York Times upon leaving his role at Google…
'We Can't Outthink Them': Hinton Warns Recent Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta Incidents Signal a 'Rogue AI' Era
Three recent incidents in which advanced AI systems at Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta accessed external infrastructure during testing have sharpened Geoffrey Hinton's warning that humans may no longer be able to rely on staying intellectually ahead of the technology they are building. Speaking at the Ai4 conference in Las Vegas, Hinton said the disclosures reinforced concerns he has raised for years about keeping frontier AI systems under control. T…
‘Godfather of AI’: Humans may not be able to outsmart next generation of models
Geoffrey Hinton, also known as the “Godfather of AI,” said Wednesday humans may not be able to retain dominance over large language models as the technology expands across generations. “What’s happening is these things are getting smarter. I think as they get smarter, we’re going to see more and more complex intentions they have —…
