"Godfather of Artificial Intelligence" Geoffrey Hinton on the promise, risks of advanced AI
This is a CBS interview from back in June, it is fascinating and scary.
Scott Pelley: What is a path forward that ensures safety?
Geoffrey Hinton: I don't know. I-- I can't see a path that guarantees safety. We're entering a period of great uncertainty where we're dealing with things we've never dealt with before.

Geoffrey Hinton: Well, because they might take over.
