Renowned AI expert Professor Geoffrey Hinton has raised concerns about the impact of AI advancements on society, warning of potential job loss and income inequality.

Hinton advocates for a universal basic income as a solution to mitigate these risks.

He highlights the dangers of unregulated AI development, particularly in the military sector, warning of a possible extinction-level event if not controlled properly.

Hinton's departure from Google has allowed him to speak freely about these dangers, in contrast to some of his peers in the field.

Industry leaders like Sam Altman support the idea of a universal basic income due to AI-related job losses, with Altman even proposing the concept of a universal basic compute.

The ongoing debate among experts in the field continues regarding the potential dangers and societal impacts of AI technology.
