AI Godfather Geoffrey Hinton’s Stark Warning: “AI Is Coming for Humanity”

Last December, 2024 Nobel Prize Award Winner in Physic Geoffrey Hinton—the so-called “Godfather of AI”—sent shockwaves through the tech world when he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there's now a 10–20% chance AI could wipe out humanity within the next 30 years . Hinton—who resigned from Google in 2023 to speak freely about AI's dangers—warned that developments are moving “much faster than expected,” and that we may soon face intelligences that exceed our own .

“We’ve never had to deal with things more intelligent than ourselves before,” Hinton said. “If you want to know how it’s like not to be the apex intelligence, ask a chicken.”

He doubled down in April 2025, reiterating a 10–20% existential-risk probability “if anything, sooner than we thought” and lamenting the relentless race among governments and tech giants to build ever-more-powerful AI systems .

CCC's Call to Adapt: Flourish with Purpose, Not Fear

At Caring Catalyst Clovers, we recognize that AI's advance is unstoppable, but so too is human creativity and compassion. Rather than cower at the prospect of machines overtaking us, CCC believes we must:

1. Adapt and Co-Create Value
   Embrace AI as a tool for amplifying our best qualities—creativity, empathy, and community—and design new economic models where people and machines collaborate.

2. Prioritize Purpose Over Profit
   Move beyond a parasitic “profit growth at all costs” mindset. Instead of chasing margins that harm society and the environment, we build systems where shared compassion and fulfillment of life drive every transaction.

3. Live in Harmony with Our Planet
   AI should help us solve—rather than worsen—climate, inequality, and well-being crises. By embedding ethical guardrails and transparent profit-sharing, we ensure technology uplifts both humanity and the Earth.
