AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton says Donald Trump is a "corrupt, senile felon" whose focus on superintelligence shows he knows nothing about AI, in a wide-ranging interview.
Hinton reiterates his warning of a 10-20% chance that AI causes human extinction in the coming decades, rejecting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's criticism that the figure is unscientific.
Hinton says the risk is serious even without precise predictions, because if AI takes over "you don't get a second chance."
