辛顿在接受《卫报》采访、谈及一部纪录片即将放映时，批评包括萨姆·奥特曼、马克·扎克伯格和埃隆·马斯克在内的科技高管，指责他们所谓将利润置于安全风险之上。他警告可能出现由AI引发的威胁，例如大规模电网电压降低或长达一周的金融系统瘫痪，并将当前的发展比作切尔诺贝利灾难的前兆。辛顿呼吁实施强制性测试，并建立仿照药品审批机构的独立监管监督，以减轻严重的社会和经济风险。
Speaking to The Guardian ahead of a documentary screening, Hinton criticized tech executives including Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk for allegedly prioritizing profits over safety risks. He warned of potential AI-driven threats such as major power grid brownouts or week-long financial system outages, comparing current developments to the precursors of the Chernobyl disaster. Hinton called for mandatory testing and independent regulatory oversight modeled after drug approval authorities to mitigate severe societal and economic risks.
