Comment by Geoffrey Hinton
Godfather of Deep Learning
We are making these things, they're getting smarter all the time. And they will become much smarter than us. [...] [Digital intelligences are] billions of times better at sharing information than we are – not twice as good, billions of times better – and the only thing to take care of a rogue superintelligence is another superintelligence.

Verified. WebFetch on the utoronto.ca URL returned HTTP 403, but a targeted web search confirmed the verbatim quote ("billions of times better at sharing information than we are — not twice as good, billions of times better, and the only thing to take care of a rogue superintelligence is another superintelligence") is attributed to Geoffrey Hinton in the U of T article "What happens when AI is smarter than us?" at the exact source URL (article published January 2026). Author attribution is correct (Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of Deep Learning). His vote "for" the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" aligns directly with the quote, which asserts AI is getting smarter and will become much smarter than us. Note: the underlying remarks were originally delivered at the Collision 2024 conference but are reported in the 2026 U of T source and remain Hinton's current position (he joined a call to ban superintelligence development in 2026); year 2026 matches the source article. Source URL is the primary source.
