The 'Godfather of AI' says it's not 'unreasonable' to believe there's a 10% chance the technology will end humanity

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the 'Godfather of AI,' stated in a BBC interview that there is a non-zero chance, possibly around 10%, that AI could lead to human extinction, including through scenarios like engineered viruses. He acknowledged the difficulty in precisely estimating this risk but emphasized it should not be dismissed.
