A disaster similar to Chernobyl will occur in the world before the end of this year, so warned the Nobel laureate and the "godfather" of artificial intelligence, Geoffrey Hinton. According to him, neural networks are capable of creating a massive upheaval that will paralyze entire countries and destroy the routine of life. It could happen as early as the end of this year or in 2027, Hinton believes. Humanity may not have needed to create neural networks, he added.
