🤖 ‘‘AI will make #ElonMusk richer, leave millions jobless’: Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton 💥
🧠 Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton, often called the “Godfather of AI”, has cautioned that the global AI boom could make billionaires like Elon Musk far richer — while replacing millions of jobs worldwide.
In a recent Bloomberg interview, Hinton said AI’s benefits in education and healthcare are overshadowed by its economic impact. “The reason it’s bad is how society is organized. Musk will get richer, and many will be unemployed — and he won’t care,” he remarked.
💬 Hinton added that the only profitable path for companies is through automation, replacing human labor with AI systems. “Big firms are betting on massive job replacement — that’s where the money is,” he warned.
The comments follow a wave of AI-fueled layoffs, including Amazon’s plan to cut over 14,000 jobs. Many tech leaders quietly cite AI as the driver behind such workforce reductions.
Hinton also reflected on his past claim that AI would replace radiologists — a prediction yet unrealized. Instead, AI has become a support tool, helping doctors identify diseases and automate diagnostics.
⚙️ On the global race, Hinton said the U.S. still leads China, but “not by much,” warning that halting research funding could tip the balance.
He offered a thought-provoking analogy for coexistence with AI: “A baby controls its mother — evolution made it that way. Perhaps humans can coexist with superintelligence if we accept we’re the babies and AI is the mother.”
