If you ever went out with a car that had no brake, boy, you are in trouble if you go down a hill. But you're in even more trouble if there's no steering wheel. [...] They want a very fast car with no steering wheel.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. UN News URL returned 403, but multiple corroborating sources confirm Hinton said at the 2026 Digital World Conference in Geneva: "If you ever went out with a car that had no brake, boy, you are in trouble if you go down a hill" and "you're in even more trouble if there's no steering wheel" and "a very fast car with no steering wheel." Vote 'for' "Nations should negotiate a binding international treaty on AI safety" aligns with Hinton's call to strengthen governance frameworks. Year 2026 confirmed. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21d ago
