Comment by Geoffrey Hinton
Godfather of Deep Learning
We should be careful to construct in a way where we still continue to exist, and we can live in harmony with it. [...] Very few resources are being put into it. Maybe one percent.

Quote confirmed via web search of Geoffrey Hinton's April 2026 remarks (reported by France24 and others from the 2026 Digital World Conference in Geneva). The France24 source URL returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but the passages "we should be careful to construct in a way where we still continue to exist, and we can live in harmony with it" and "very few resources are being put into [it]... maybe 1%" were corroborated nearly verbatim. Author attribution correct (Geoffrey Hinton, "Godfather of AI/Deep Learning"). Year 2026 correct. Vote "for" aligns with statement "Mandate big AI companies spend 30% of compute on AI safety" — Hinton explicitly laments that only ~1% of resources currently go into AI safety, clearly supporting a substantial mandated increase. The [...] elision is faithful to the original.
