Geoffrey Hinton Urges Urgent AI Regulation at UN Conference — 'Time to Apply the Brakes'
UN News·low signal
Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton told the UN Digital World Conference on April 26 that AI regulation must provide 'steering' for rapid advances to serve societies rather than undermine them. Hinton called for binding international frameworks rather than voluntary commitments, warning that current self-governance by AI labs is insufficient. The remarks come as 19 new US state AI laws passed in April alone.
