In Episode 75 of '100 Days of Data,' Jonas and Amy dive into the groundbreaking contributions of Geoffrey Hinton, often hailed as the 'godfather of deep learning.' They explore how Hinton's early pursuit of understanding human cognition led to revolutionary advances in neural networks and deep learning — technologies powering today’s AI solutions from fraud detection to voice recognition. The hosts break down key concepts like backpropagation and the rise of deep belief networks, revealing how Hinton’s persistence during AI’s toughest periods laid the groundwork for modern machine learning. With real-world applications and historical insight, this episode highlights how deep learning became a practical force in industries through Hinton’s vision and innovation.
Tom sits down with Geoffrey Hinton, University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, and co-winner of the ACM Turing Award and of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. Geoffrey explains how he got into the field, from his days as an aspiring carpenter to his conversion to a neural network researcher. He explains the burst of neural network progress in the mid-1980s when the backpropagation training algorithm came into widespread use, and the re-emergence of deep neural networks in 2012 when he and his students soundly defeated the best computer vision methods around. Geoffrey discusses his early realization that those GPUs being sold to accelerate video games were the perfect hardware to accelerate neural networks as well, his journey from academia to Google, the competition among the big AI companies, and his views on where AI is and might be headed.

Computer scientist and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World podcast to talk about artificial intelligence, the technology transforming our society faster than anything humans have ever built. The question is: how fast is too fast? Hinton is known as the “Godfather of AI.” He helped build the neural networks that made today’s generative AI tools possible and that work earned him the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics. But recently, he’s turned from a tech evangelist to a whistleblower, warning that the technology he helped create will displace millions of jobs and eventually destroy humanity itself. The Nobel laureate joins Ian to discuss some of the biggest threats from AI: Mass job loss, widening inequality, social unrest, autonomous weapons, and eventually something far more dire: AI that becomes smarter than humans and might not let us turn it off. But he also sees a path forward: if we can model good behavior and program ‘maternal instincts’ into AI, could we avoid a worst-case scenario?

Yascha Mounk and Geoffrey Hinton discuss how AI works—and why it’s a risk. Geoffrey Hinton is a cognitive psychologist and computer scientist known as the “godfather of AI.” He was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, along with John Hopfield. In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Geoffrey Hinton discuss what neuroscience teaches us about AI, how humans and machines learn, and the existential risks of AI.

The story of how Geoffrey Hinton became “the godfather of AI” has reached mythic status in the tech world. While he was at the University of Toronto, Hinton pioneered the neural network research that would become the backbone of modern AI. (One of his students, Ilya Sutskever, went on to be one of OpenAI’s most influential scientific minds.) In 2013, Hinton left the academy and went to work for Google, eventually winning both a Turing Award and a Nobel Prize. I think it’s fair to say that artificial intelligence as we know it, may not exist without Geoffrey Hinton. But Hinton may be even more famous for what he did next. In 2023, he left Google and began a campaign to convince governments, corporations and citizens that his life’s work – this thing he helped build – might lead to our collective extinction. And that moment may be closer than we think, because Hinton believes AI may already be conscious. But even though his warnings are getting more dire by the day, the AI industry is only getting bigger, and most governments, including Canada’s, seem reluctant to get in the way. So I wanted to ask Hinton: If we keep going down this path, what will become of us?

In this urgent episode of We Are Still Human, host Phillip Kemp reports on Geoffrey Hinton’s stark warning: artificial intelligence could drive massive unemployment while catapulting corporate profits to unprecedented heights. Dubbed the “Godfather of AI,” Hinton argues that the real threat isn’t the technology itself, but the capitalist system that allows wealth to concentrate at the top while stripping millions of dignity and purpose. Kemp dissects Hinton’s message, exploring the risks of an economy built for margins, not people, and calls listeners into a circle of resistance — where sovereignty, not profit, defines survival.
So will AI wipe us out? According to Geoffrey Hinton , the 2024 Nobel laureate in physics, there's about a 10-20% chance of AI being humanity's final invention. Which, as the so-called Godfather of AI acknowledges, is his way of saying he has no more idea than you or I about its species-killing qualities. That said, Hinton is deeply concerned about some of the consequences of an AI revolution that he pioneered at Google. From cyber attacks that could topple major banks to AI-designed viruses, from mass unemployment to lethal autonomous weapons, Hinton warns we're facing unprecedented risks from technology that's evolving faster than our ability to control it. So does he regret his role in the invention of generative AI? Not exactly. Hinton believes the AI revolution was inevitable—if he hadn't contributed, it would have been delayed by perhaps a week. Instead of dwelling on regret, he's focused on finding solutions for humanity to coexist with superintelligent beings. His radical proposal? Creating "AI mothers" with strong maternal instincts toward humans—the only model we have for a more powerful being designed to care for a weaker one. 1. Nobody Really Knows the Risk Level Hinton's 10-20% extinction probability is essentially an admission of complete uncertainty. As he puts it, "the number means nobody's got a clue what's going to happen" - but it's definitely more than 1% and less than 99%. 2. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Threats Are Fundamentally Different Near-term risks involve bad actors misusing AI (cyber attacks, bioweapons, surveillance), while the existential threat comes from AI simply outgrowing its need for humans - something we've never faced before. 3. We're Creating "Alien Beings" Right Now Unlike previous technologies, AI represents actual intelligent entities that can understand, plan, and potentially manipulate us. Hinton argues we should be as concerned as if we spotted an alien invasion fleet through a telescope. 4. The "AI Mothers" Solution Hinton's radical proposal: instead of trying to keep AI submissive (which won't work when it's smarter than us), we should engineer strong maternal instincts into AI systems - the only model we have of powerful beings caring for weaker ones. 5. Superintelligence Is Coming Within 5-20 Years Most leading experts believe human-level AI is inevitable, followed quickly by superintelligence. Hinton's timeline reflects the consensus among researchers, despite the wide range. Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.
