Tiene 76 años y le acaban de otorgar el Nobel de Física. Lo llaman "el padrino de la inteligencia artificial" porque sin su visionario trabajo no existirían ni ChatGPT ni los otros chatbots que están revolucionando el mundo. Un genio entre genios. Durante más de diez años, Hinton solo podía estar de pie o tumbado por un problema en la espalda. Ahora, tras una cirugía, vuelve a sentarse y a viajar en avión. Pertenece a una familia de genios académicos; entre ellos, su tatarabuelo, el matemático George Boole, quien inspiró el código binario que hoy rige todos los ordenadores. Ahora, sin embargo, Hinton ha dejado Silicon Valley para advertirnos: «estamos creando un monstruo que amenaza la humanidad». Nos explica por qué.
