Geoffrey Hinton said that, right now, countries are working in secret to gain an advantage. That will change once AI becomes so intelligent it presents an existential threat, he said. However, this could change once AI becomes advanced enough to pose an existential threat to humanity, AI "godfather" and Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton says. AdvertisementHinton said this collaboration could resemble the Cold War, when Russia and the United States — despite being enemies — shared a common goal to avoid nuclear war. The United States and China are already beginning to collaborate on existential threats related to AI.
