I’m not one to react nervously to doom-laden predictions, but I was a touch rattled last week when Geoffrey Hinton, the eminent “Godfather of AI”, said a 10% chance of it killing off the human race soon was a “not unreasonable” estimate.
Geoffrey Hinton states that while it is difficult to estimate the probability that AI will kill off all of humanity, "it would be extremely foolish to say that the probability is around 1%."
