How scary, God! A Chernobyl-like catastrophe will hit the world before the end of this year, said Nobel laureate and godfather of artificial intelligence Geoffrey Hinton. According to him, neural networks are capable of causing a large-scale outage that would paralyze entire countries and destroy normal life. That will happen at the end of this year or in 2027, Hinton believes. Humanity probably didn't need to create neural networks, he added.
