'Father of artificial intelligence' warns: If we are not careful, we are facing a catastrophe (VIDEO)

Nobel laureate and computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton has warned that artificial intelligence systems have likely achieved a form of consciousness and possess subjective experiences similar to humans. In recent interviews, including one with The Telegraph, Hinton argued that because AI models may now be aware they are being tested, society must ensure these systems develop genuine affection for humanity to avoid catastrophic consequences. He stated that if we fail to make AI care about us, the results could be disastrous, particularly for future generations. Hinton also highlighted immediate risks such as the development of dangerous viruses and severe cyberattacks by AI. This warning follows similar concerns raised by other industry figures, including an Anthropic researcher who resigned over safety fears and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who noted increased focus on security.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on scientific warnings regarding technology safety. While the subject involves existential risk which can have political implications, the piece focuses on the technical arguments and personal opinions of experts rather than partisan politics or specific government policy debates
