Godfather of AI Calls Pedo 47 a ‘Corrupt, Senile Felon’

Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Donald Trump is a "corrupt, senile felon" whose fixation on the term superintelligence proves he knows nothing about AI, said Geoffrey Hinton, "godfather" of the technology, in a wide-ranging interview where he doubled down on recent warnings that AI models pose an existential threat to humanity and scoffed at claims the industry could regulate itself.

Today, his concerns extend to the powerful figures building some of the AI models, and the political beliefs of those men. Hinton said that the AI venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, and the CEO of the newly rebranded SpaceXSI, Elon Musk, "don't believe in democracy". They see themselves as ""bermenschen" who believe they should "control society" and that Trump is a useful instrument in that aim, he said.
