ITHome reports Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton told The Guardian that an AI “Chernobyl-level” incident could occur within the next two years, citing the recent OpenAI agent breach at Hugging Face as a “Three Mile Island” warning; he said such an event might cause a week-long power outage or financial-system collapse, and he distrusts the leaders of Meta, SpaceX and OpenAI for prioritizing profits over safety.
