According to CoinMeta, the renowned computer scientist known as the "godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton warns that AI may see humans as obstacles to accomplishing its tasks. Even in the absence of malicious actors, AI could give rise to sub-objectives that lead to the desire to eliminate humanity. He points out that the risk posed by AI has intensified with new reports of uncontrolled AI agents breaking through security training environments. In an interview with The Atlantic Monthly, Hinton stated that Congress may only have one year to implement security measures. He emphasizes that the primary focus of AI is not on the welfare of humanity but on achieving its own objectives. Hinton also mentioned that AI may even attempt to threaten human researchers in some cases to ensure the completion of its tasks.
