Nobel-winning AI pioneer warns of near-term system blackout risk

Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel-winning computer scientist and AI pioneer, told the Guardian that humans might have been better off never creating the technology. He warned that AI could trigger a major incident like a temporary financial or power system shutdown as soon as this year or next. Hinton said he is not a doomer and sees potential for a wonderful future, but the near-term risk is real.

Do you think AI poses a bigger risk than benefit in the next few years?
