Should we really fear AI? “Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Hinton’s fear of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly the generative type that burrows on deep learning neural networks, is that it can get unhinged and fly into territories that would make it dangerous to mankind.

Whether someone of influence can really act on the open letter and call for a pause in this AI arms race is highly debatable.
