A catastrophe on the scale of Chernobyl could occur as early as the end of this year, warned the "godfather" of artificial intelligence Jeffrey Hinton.
According to the Nobel laureate's prediction, as early as the end of 2026 or 2027, neural networks can make a large-scale outage or paralyze the entire financial system.
Hinton added that humanity should not have created neural networks at all because of the risk of losing control over them.
Don't plan anything for the new year just yet.
