We’re thrilled to welcome Geoffrey Hinton, the trailblazing computer scientist often called the “godfather of AI,” as a keynote speaker at this year’s Higher Education Summit in Toronto. With his distinguished academic career and a decade-long role in research and design at Google, Hinton has been instrumental in pioneering the neural networks that drive today’s artificial intelligence.

In his keynote address, Hinton will explore the evolving risks associated with AI technology and advocate for caution as AI becomes more advanced. His talk will offer profound insights into the potential existential threats posed by AI and the importance of responsible development.
