Godfather of AI Predicts Killer Robots Will Make War Motley Fool-Proof

Geoffrey Hinton, AI’s grandpa and reluctant war prophet, warns that lethal autonomous weapons—the Terminator drones deciding who to vaporize solo—make imperialism as easy as ordering a pizza. In a Katie Couric chat bomb dropped August 2025, he revealed how rich countries might invade poor ones without pesky body bags, just broken robot carcasses that’ll cost military-industrial friends a fortune to replace. Ukraine’s $500 drones vaporizing multimillion-dollar tanks like avocado toast obliterating your paycheck already signal jet pilots with guts are outdated relics. Meanwhile, Russia’s busy deploying robotic chairs and ‘‘dronobuses’’ for fiber optic missions because why not, and Sweden’s freaked out enough to throw cash at autonomous soldiers. War just got absurdly efficient and expensive all at once—and Hinton didn’t even RSVP to Business Insider.
