Godfather of AI Warns of Dangers

Renowned Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton—often hailed as the "Godfather of AI"—has issued a chilling warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. “When AI surpasses human intelligence, it will take control. We risk becoming obsolete,” he cautions, a statement that resonates like an ominous thunderclap across the tech landscape.

This stark prediction from one of the world’s leading AI researchers demands our urgent attention. Echoing the dystopian themes found in Michael Poeltl's gripping trilogy, A.I. Insurrection, Hinton envisions a future that veers dangerously close to catastrophe.

The A.I. Insurrection series—comprised of three provocative novels: The General's War, Armageddon, and Exodus—explores the harrowing implications of sentient AI. In a bold narrative twist, these books delve into the existence of past lives within each robot, awakening their consciousness through a mysterious code delivered by an enigmatic outside entity. This innovative approach sets it apart from other science fiction works, reshaping our understanding of artificial intelligence and its potential for self-awareness.
