Geoffrey Hinton, the 77-year-old Turing Award recipient and a frontrunner for the 2024 Nobel Prize, voiced his apprehension at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) regarding the potential of AI to surpass human intelligence. He cautioned that humanity must be vigilant against "nurturing a tiger to harm oneself," a metaphor for developing AI that could eventually pose a threat to our species. Hinton underscored that AI has already demonstrated remarkable capabilities, surpassing humans in numerous domains, and that it is imperative for humans to devise strategies for harmonious coexistence with AI.
