Comment by Geoffrey Hinton
Godfather of Deep Learning
What's actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers. It's going to create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits. It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That's not AI's fault, that is the capitalist system. UBI won't deal with human dignity and the value people derive from having jobs.AI Verified source (2025)

Quote from Geoffrey Hinton's September 2025 Financial Times interview. He warns AI will create massive unemployment and enrich a few at the expense of many, blaming the capitalist system rather than AI. His critique that UBI "won't deal with human dignity" comes from the same FT interview. Corroborated by Fortune, Futurism, and multiple tech outlets. Note: this is a composite of two closely related quotes from the same interview — the unemployment/profits prediction and the UBI dignity critique.
