Geoffrey Everest Hinton CC FRS FRSC^[11] (born 6 December 1947) is a British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist. He is known for his work on artificial intelligence (AI). From 2013 to 2023, he worked for Google (Google Brain) and the University of Toronto. In May 2023, he left Google after calling out the risks of artificial intelligence technology.^[12]
