NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang praises the AI agenda of President Donald Trump and outlines what the future of the country will look like on ‘Special Report’.
Geoffrey Hinton, one of the most prominent figures in the world of artificial intelligence, sounds the alarm that machines can surpass people soon, and he argues for “mother instincts” to be built into advanced systems to provide AI care and protects people.
Hinton believes that artificial general intelligence, a kind of AI that can satisfy or exceed human capacities, can be as little as just a few years away, much earlier than its earlier estimates of 30 to 50 years, Forbes Magazine reported.
“They will be much smarter than we,” Hinton said at the recent AI4 conference in Las Vegas. “Imagine you were in charge of a playground of 3-year-olds, and you worked for them. It would not be very difficult for them to get around you if they were smarter.”

Hinton, often referred to as the ‘godfather of AI’, noted that AI has a unique ability to learn collectively, which means that machines can considerably surpass human progress, according to Forbes.

“If people could do that at a university, you would follow a course, your friends would follow different courses and you would all know everything,” he said. “We can only share a few bits per second. AI can share a trillion bits every time they update.”

Hinton believes that researchers should give priority to creating AI who really gives people, rather than just focusing on maintaining control. “Maternal instincts” should be built into systems with a drive to protect human life, something that countries could work together to achieve, he said, according to Forbes.

“We need AI mothers instead of AI assistants,” said Hinton. “An assistant is someone you can fire. Fortunately you can’t fire your mother.”

Despite his many warnings about the dangers of AI, Hinton believes that health care benefits can offer. AI could accelerate patients’ diagnoses, develop more targeted medicines and make custom treatments, he said, Forbes reported.

Hinton left his job as a Google engineer in 2023, partly to warn about the dangers of further AI development. Hinton worked at Google for more than ten years and is responsible for a technical breakthrough of 2012 that serves as the basis of the current AI -like chatgpt.
