AFP-syndicated copies on Digital Journal and Tuoi Tre News reproduce the exact wording and attribute it to Geoffrey Hinton; the [...] only omits intervening attribution text between the two quoted sentences. ([digitaljournal.com](https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/unregulated-ai-like-speeding-with-no-steering-wheel-ai-godfather-hinton/article)) The stored date (2026-04-21) and author fit the AFP wire, and the France24 URL matches the same headline/date slug, although that specific page was not directly fetchable in this environment.

I found the underlying remark, but not in the exact wording given. AFP-syndicated versions of the story say opponents present unregulated AI as the accelerator and regulation as the brake, then quote Hinton saying, “They want a very fast car with no steering wheel,” rather than “People say ... But they want ...” ([digitaljournal.com](https://www.digitaljournal.com/world/unregulated-ai-like-speeding-with-no-steering-wheel-ai-godfather-hinton/article)) An official UN Geneva recap also renders the line differently, ending, “But you're in even more trouble if there’s no steering wheel.” ([ungeneva.org](https://www.ungeneva.org/en/news-media/news/2026/04/117907/time-apply-brakes-runaway-ai-says-pioneer))
