Nobel Prize-winning scientist Hinton: Artificial intelligence would have been better if it had never been developed

Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist Hinton, who is considered among the pioneers of artificial intelligence technology, made a statement to The Guardian newspaper.

Hinton suggested that artificial intelligence technology could trigger a crisis that could lead to widespread outages in electricity systems and serious disruptions in financial systems late this year or in 2027.

Hinton, who likened future artificial intelligence-related crises to "Chernobyl", also pointed out that artificial intelligence could cause mass unemployment and deepening income inequality.

Stating that the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence could pose serious threats to humanity, Hinton said, "It would be better if artificial intelligence was never developed." he said.

Hinton stated that artificial intelligence models should be inspected by independent organizations before being released to the market, and called for international cooperation and binding regulations.

Meanwhile, in a statement he made in September, Hinton stated that "there may be only a year left to implement the necessary security measures before we completely lose control" over artificial intelligence.
