Hinton, long a prominent voice on AI risks, also said he now sees a role for AI in military operations, a reversal from earlier skepticism. His comments come amid an intensifying race among Big Tech firms and startups to deploy more capable models, raising questions about governance, security and the balance between rapid rollout and safety commitments at companies such as Anthropic.
