'Godfather of AI' on the "not unreasonable" 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the 'Godfather of AI', was interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire on Newsnight regarding the possibility of AI posing an existential threat. This discussion follows claims from a former Anthropic employee that AI developers believe there's a "not unreasonable" 10% chance AI could eliminate humanity within a decade. Hinton was asked to comment on this concerning prediction.

Unlike previous general warnings, Geoffrey Hinton here specifically addresses a whistleblower's claim about AI developers' belief in a 10% chance of human extinction within a decade.
