At the recent Ai4 conference, two of the world’s most influential AI voices—Geoffrey Hinton, the “godfather of AI,” and Fei-Fei Li, the “godmother of AI”—offered starkly different visions for the future of artificial intelligence. Hinton warned of losing control and even suggested building a “Mother AI” with protective instincts, while Li firmly countered that humans must remain in control from the very beginning, championing a model of human-centered AI. Their debate underscores a growing consensus: we need a radical rethink of AI development and deployment. Rather than bolting on safeguards after the fact, policies must embed ethics, accountability, and human dignity into AI systems from the start. For BGF and AIWS, this reflects our central mission: to ensure that AI strengthens democracy, respects human values, and builds an AI World Society where all humans win.
