NOBEL LAUREATE GEOFFREY HINTON DISCUSSES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: "WE ARE AT A VERY CRUCIAL POINT IN HISTORY"

In a public talk by Nobel Laureate Professor Geoffrey Hinton on Wednesday 7 January 2026, professor Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI", discussed artificial intelligence - how it works, the risks it poses to our society, and how we might coexist with super-intelligent AI. Professor Hinton was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2024 for his foundational work on neural networks and deep learning that made advanced artificial intelligence possible. 

In 2023, Professor Hinton resigned his position as Vice President of Google to speak freely about the dangers of AI. 

This is a very special opportunity to listen to Professor Hinton in a speech that is interesting for researchers, educators, students, business leaders, creatives and anyone curious about the future of intelligence and society

'Musk Will Get Richer, People Will Get Unemployed': Nobel Laureate Hinton on AI

A year after winning the Nobel Prize for his work related to machine learning, Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” is sounding the alarm. He says that artificial intelligence could one day outsmart and overpower its creators. Hinton warns that tech giants are moving too fast, that global cooperation is needed, and that we may need a “Chernobyl moment” to take the danger seriously. From mass job losses to loss of control, Hinton says humanity’s survival depends on how we act now.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Teaching in Political Science and International Relations Education

Artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education at an unprecedented pace, and its impact is especially significant for students and scholars of political science and international relations. As global politics becomes more data-driven and complex, AI is emerging as a key tool for learning, research, and institutional decision-making. This World Bank document shows that AI is no longer a future trend—it is already transforming how political processes, international systems, and public policies are studied and taught at universities.

What We Learn in the Report

The report Artificial Intelligence Revolution in Higher Education: What You Need to Know explores the most relevant AI-driven developments and their practical applications in the social sciences --that we can discuss with a focus on political science and international relations.

AI in Practice: Who Benefits and How?

For political science and international relations students

AI-powered tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, and instant feedback tools help students develop core skills such as policy evaluation, comparative analysis, data interpretation, and scenario forecasting—tailored to different degree programs and areas of specialization.

For faculty and researchers

Artificial intelligence supports academic planning, automates assessment processes, and enhances research through advanced text and data analysis tools, enabling higher-quality teaching and increased scientific output.

For higher education institutions

AI-driven early warning systems, resource optimization tools, and intelligent management platforms improve institutional efficiency, student retention, and the overall quality of education in political and international studies.

Why It Matters

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in higher education, understanding its role is essential for students, academics, and institutions alike. The report offers the World Bank overview of how artificial intelligence is shaping higherEd—and next is for us to discuss why it matters for the next generation of global thinkers.

LA IA GEMINI EN EDUCACIÓN SUPERIOR: REFERENTES EN UNIVERSIDADES INTERNACIONALES

La integración de la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa en la universidad ha pasado de ser una curiosidad tecnológica en algunas universidades de referencia. Como profesores nos interesa conocer cómo se reescribe nuestro papel y cómo en las instituciones líderes se están utilizando las IAs generativas. En este post, comparto referencias a universidades referentes. Estos referentes nos pueden ayudar a los profesores y a los coordinadores de moodle, que es mi caso con el campus virtual dentro de mi Facultad.

UNIVERSIDADES QUE HAN ADOPTADO LA IA GEMINI DE FORMA INSTITUCIONAL

1. Arizona State University (ASU)

Es el referente principal por la escala: han habilitado Gemini para toda su comunidad académica bajo estrictas normas de privacidad. Os dejo dos referencias en ASU:

• Portal de IA de ASU: Google Gemini for Education en ASU. Aquí detallan cómo el personal docente puede solicitar acceso y los casos de uso para planificación de lecciones.

• Caso de Estudio (Google Cloud): ASU y la infraestructura escalable de IA. Explica cómo usan modelos de IA para mejorar el éxito estudiantil y crear simulaciones de aprendizaje.

UNIVERSIDADES QUE HAN ADOPTADO CHATGPT DE FORMA INSTITUCIONAL

Varias universidades han integrado ChatGPT (u otras herramientas de IA generativa) de forma institucional, no solo como recurso opcional, sino como parte de su infraestructura educativa o curricular. 

1. Sistema de la Universidad Estatal de California (California State University, CSU)Ha anunciado la implementación de ChatGPT Edu para toda su comunidad académica — servicio que se ofrece oficialmente a cientos de miles de estudiantes, docentes y personal. Esta adopción forma parte de una estrategia amplia para integrar IA en la enseñanza y gestión universitaria.

2. University of Oxford. Fue la primera universidad en el Reino Unido en ofrecer ChatGPT Edu a todos los estudiantes y personal. El despliegue va acompañado de formación sobre uso responsable de IA, apoyo institucional y servicios de capacitación, lo que implica una política institucional para su uso educativo y de investigación.

3. IE University. La institución ha formalizado un acuerdo con OpenAI para integrar ChatGPT Edu en distintos programas de grado y máster. Además, ofrece formación específica en IA (“AI for Productivity” y “AI 101”), certificaciones y apoyo para el uso ético en el aprendizaje.

4. Arizona State University. Integra ChatGPT Edu en actividades de enseñanza, investigación y operaciones, alineado con su enfoque institucional de innovación educativa.

¿Qué significa esta integración institucional?

• Acceso oficial y generalizado: estudiantes y profesores reciben cuentas institucionales de ChatGPT Edu en lugar de usar versiones gratuitas o personales.

• Uso en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje: no solo se permite el uso de IA, sino que se incorpora en planes de estudio, actividades académicas, entrenamiento en competencias digitales y apoyo pedagógico.

• Formación y políticas: estas universidades acompañan la tecnología con capacitación en alfabetización de IA, orientación ética y criterios de uso responsable.

CHINA

"En China somos mas de hacer que de contar" afirma Margaret Cheng en la Summit organizada por Forbes. Adicionalmente destaca que los modelos chinos de inteligencia artificial permiten a países que no son líderes económicos desarrollar IA parametrizada con un menor consumo energético y de datos. 

qué destaca en la capacidad competitiva de China, en una pregunta directa a Margaret Chen, comparte que:

- China nos enseña a ser modestos. Hay que hacer mas que decir. El tema de la IA no es tan central como el petroleo, afirma Chen. Estados Unidos ha desindustrializado.

- Los orientales tienen una larga tradición milenaria de formación matemática.

- Europa tal vez necesita una política de atracción de talento.

- Hay que centrarse en petróleo, y los países que tiene un control del petroleo. Hay que ver los datos de China, India

 Carme Artigas habla de la centralidad de Arabia Saudi en el mapa de la hashtag#IA actual.
Arabia Saudi tiene acceso a una gran cantidad de chips de computación.

Artigas destaca que:

- La IA nace unida a la guerra en UK, y en Silicon Valley.

- Ciberespacio, seguridad y mental son nuevos espacios de ataque en las guerras actuales. Se unen a los tradicionales tierra, mar y aire.

- La IA afecta a sectores verticales.

- La política de la IA es la política energética de los Estados y devuelve el poder a los Estados..Esto explica el creciente poder de los Estados. En este sentido tanto Estados Unidos como China están actuando igual, pero centralización. En España necesitamos el 20 por ciento del mix de la nuclear. Necesitamos mejorar en distribución y transporte, pero estamos mejor que Alemania.

- El Sur Global no está representando en la IA. Los datos están totalmente sesgados. El Sur Global tendrá que elegir el modelo Chino o el Estadounidense.

- Quien tenga los datos industriales tiene ventaja competitiva.

- Europa no actúa ni con velocidad ni con escala. No hay política industrial común, ni mercado único digital, ni mercado financiero común. Los próximos tres años son definitivos para que Europa sea un player.

UNESCO MINISTERIAL PANELS ON NATIONAL AI GOVERNANCE

UNESCO helds the Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, starting with a Ministerial Panels on Comparative National AI Governance on Monday February the fifth. Here I leave several leads from the meeting that is being held. UNESCO has been working on Ethic principles. In this session I find very interesting the presentation of the Minister of Chile on AI regulation, first in the world. Very interesting the Council that they lead together with countries in LATAM on AI regulation. Thank you very much Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, Aisén Etcheverry Escudero

Aisén Etcheverry Escudero holds a Degree in Law from the Universidad de Chile and a Master’s in Law from the University of San Francisco School of Law. Over the last 15 years, she has coordinated and led public and private teams and projects at the national and international level in areas related to science, technology and innovation.

She was director of Chile’s National Research and Development Agency (ANID), head of the Secretary General of the Presidency Ministry’s Inter-Ministerial Coordination Division (DCI) and director of the National Council of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation for Development (CTCI). Quite impresive.

In Chile we learn that AI t is not rocket science. Countries can empower themselves to have better capacities. Populations that are not digitalized and languages are very important. They are left behind more that in the first digital wave. 

The conductor of the session

"Why do you want to be in computer scientist? No, I want to be Mayor"

Minister of Oman

Infraestructura is important, Arabic is as well, public awareness campaigns and education in early childhood. Data privacy is critical, so that people are protected, and protecting individuals in the midst of AI. Collaboration with international agencies, such as UNESCO

The United States, grounding the approach on their historical approach to the regulation of telecommunications there. Top down leadership is key, and implementation, what it is made to implement regulations, and then measure what has been made. The US has developed an Institute with this aim, so that they do not want a fragmentation at the deferral level they do not desire

Estonia, defending they have the most comprehensive approach

Representative from Greece, enfasizing bioethics 

and that decisions get implemented

Mexico

Currently working with UNESCO to develop with the Global International AI Recommendations. In México we say: "Governance is as important as regulation."

In Senegal

The focus on agriculture, climate change, data on crops it is very important for AI in their country

Use in an ethical manner, the farmer is in the center of the action plan for AI

Language is very important, as well so that people on the countryside understand and are able to work with AI

Vietnam

The importance of computer science and of education in general. They want top students in AI and computer science. They are focusing on talent in particular.

MENCION INTERNACIONAL EXTRAORDINARIA A LA INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL

INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE COUNCIL WORKSHOP ON CHAT GPT

"Chat GPT will be soon integrated into Windows with Copilot" this is the lead from the course I took on June 28th under the aegis of the International Science Council, with Nick Scott  ISC senior consultant and Zhenya Tsoy as ISC conductor. We have been learning on the use of ChatGPT for science. Below you find my notes.

"Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, the hype around generative AI (artificial intelligence) has been immense. Products that can automatically generate text, images and video when prompted to do so are being discussed as a game-changer for organizations and society at large. Generative AI promises organizations and their staff a route to increase their productivity, supporting them in automating – or at least delivering more quickly and easily – many important regular tasks. At the request of ISC Members, ISC has organized a practical workshop to create a safe space for experimentation and explore how the most popular tool – ChatGPT – can be used in our everyday work. The ISC senior consultant Nick Scott has shared insights on how to work around technical capabilities and limitations of the tool, what makes for an effective prompt, and answered practical questions around the use of ChatGPT."

An individual language learner (LLM model)

Chat GPT is more capable of being an assistant for us in our work. 

Recommendations

• Give Chat GPT a role: roles give Chat GPT what role to play: "Hellow, Act as a consultant and trainer, with a specialism in digital and AI"
• Give ChatGPT CONTEXT: content and detailed background información, such as background info. 
• I can tell CONVERSE, chat and respond in order to make sure that it understands. Tell it the strong and weak points in the answer. 
• FOCUS: on the areas of your expertise. If it is not in your area, it will be difficult to see true.
• POLITE: gets better results
• GUIDE: Tell what you want
• SEPARATE chat by topic

Strengths

• LATERAL THINKING is a strength of ChatGPT. This includes videos for instance, not only texts, poems, tables, telling stories in different ways for different audiences or in the way of a particular person/politician.
• AI, generative AI as a subset of AI, Large Language models, GPT (an specific language model)

Suggestions

- Breaking a task into two tasks or steeps: first making a text more understandable "Please rewrite this text in simple understandable plain english, readable to a ..."

- Help with preparations for a performance review meeting, -pay rise- with a boss.

Limitations and risks

• Bias content, ie. more men
• Copyright, that may be a concern with info consumed and produced
• Misuse for misinformation and disinformation. The model can create both, it can create to deceive
• Cut out of data since 2021, no Internet access, Eager to please so, it makes stuff up. 
• Data privacy, in the chat history and training button should anonymize for personal information. Be very careful of what you put, it will consume it unless you have the button off
• You will not be getting the same answer twice
• Free version in often inaccessible
• Limited memory

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CHINA. BOOK CHAPTER

I present you my work, available for download, on artificial intelligence in China:"Artificial Intelligence: From a General Framework of Analysis to the Chinese Case." The article is available here: https://osf.io/q3sb7/.

A framework elaborated from political theory, a branch of philosophy

And it is open for comments. In this work, a general framework for the analysis of governance of artificial intelligence is presented. I develop dashboard that allows comparisons between democratic and non democratic regimes. This adshboard is useful for countries in the global south and for western countries. The dashboard allows us to assess the key features that determine the governance model for artificial intelligence at the national level, for local governments and for other participant actors. The work shows the theoretical framework could be of use to advance case studies globally, and comparative endeavors. Applying the theoretical dashboard, the case study on China is undertaken. These are the main points the study tackles in the final discussion, conclusion and further recommendations: 1) the complex reality of AI command and control 2) uncertainties about future society and the polity against AI development and 3) particular cultural values enshrined in countries' AI development.

Please, be free to send me comment to my email address, if interested at olgagil at ucm dot es, or writing comments to this post.

Artificial intelligence in Madrid at #FIBK: Link 

PATHBREAKING GLOBAL BRANDING FROM SMART TO AI

Social networks are a great way to connect and communicate with people around the world. A sample is this presentation, out of the work that I was then doing at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, jointly with a team from Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación (COIT). 

The presentation was pathbreaking 

Because it allowed to engage in conversations with very interesting people abroad, from developers to Ministers. For instance, people I did not expect wrote me; this included the minister of innovation in Taiwan, developers and journalists in Malaysia, researchers in Japan, researchers in Fudan university and Shenzhen (China), and middle size cities and the press in Spain, or the Fundación para la Innovación Bankinter and their program on cities hold in Sintra, with a very interesting group of global and Iberian participans, producing the report Disruptive Cities.

This presentation was also pathbreaking

It allowed me, my team and COIT to make an impact through specific local, national and international roadshows. Spain was known as a case of interest, through the cases shown. This research work had the power to change a rhetoric of crisis, and turn it into the strengths, speaking of Spanish firms and local governments aiming at becoming either global players or playing a role in the XXI century. Ones did it for the good of shattered citizens by the 2008 crisis, other did it for shattered workers and firm survival.

My international roadshows covered Poland, Lisbon, Shanghai, Barcelona, cities in China, Japan, the Netherlands and the Middle East. Most importantly, the work was done talking about innovative firms and local cities in Spain, in a comparative perspective with other 11 cities of the world from three different continents. 

This was made possible with the collaboration of Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación and Accenture Spain, enthusiasts of the project. It also helped the fact that I had been able to collaborate in the first work on smart cities produced in Spain, a great prospective work, edited by Fundación Telefónica.

And yes, I do highly recommend social media to reach global audiences for branding purposes 

How efective it might be? We may check how many leads receive a sister post I made for LinkedIn here. In fact, branding for global audiences is a subject I have covered in some of my most innovative courses at universities and business schools with young students and junior researchers. 

A book published in 2015 was source to other more recent works 

It opened me the door to joint the The Smart Cities and Smart Governments Research-Practice Consortium (SCSG) at Albany University, New York. The SCSG is a robust global smart cities research community that focuses on innovations in technology, management, and policy that change the fabric of the world’s cities. There, under the lead of Prof. Theresa Pardo and other great scholars such as Mila Gascó, an also path breaking book has been produced: "Smart Cities and Smart Governance: Towards the 22nd Century Sustainable City." Professors Elsa Estevez, Theresa A. Pardo and Hans Jochen Scholl have been the editors. And I highly recommend this work. The The Smart Cities and Smart Governments Research-Practice Consortium:

• Formally connects those engaged in cutting-edge research on smart cities
• Supports the development of a connected smart cities research community
• Creates a foundation for interdisciplinary and multi-national research teams
• Provides a network to support knowledge sharing

Work on China and the Mediterranean basin

This work on smart cities has been completed with field research on cities in China mainland, and with  recent publication in a A+ journal. 

1. The work done on China is yet pending of written and video-photo edition. 
2. However, it has had follow up collaborations with colleagues at Universidad Complutense School of Politics, were we have researched and published on measures adopted by Mediterranean and Portuguese coastal cities to face climate change -- together with Profs. Xira Ruiz-Campillo and y Cristina García Fernández and working for Profs. Walter Leal Filho and Evangelos Manolas.
3. Under the aegis of ICCA, we worked on a special congress in November 2022, where I chair COVID and postcovid: energía, medioambiente, sostenibilidad y tecnología. Contributions from scientists, young researchers, institutions and firms are actively encouraged, so as to build bridges among research and positive impacts on society.

And you may think how this all come about to write this post...

This all came over a conversation with my colleague, a journalist with a strong skill communication and engaging in grounded and compelling projects: with a breath of understanding about how the world today moves and works. I also shall say that people, women associations and firms I worked for where very important to develop the skills I have as global communicator. Thank you, Ana for you trust, Javier for your training, and Pascale for your mentoring.
