Send us a textGeoffrey Hinton’s Warning: AI Needs “Maternal Instincts” to Protect HumanityAt the Ai4 conference in Las Vegas on August 12, 2025, Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” delivered a stark warning about the future of artificial intelligence and proposed a radical solution for humanity’s survival.The AI pioneer criticised the “tech bro” approach of trying to maintain dominance over AI systems, calling it fundamentally flawed.
