TORONTO, Ontario — October 7, 2025 — Leads & Copy — The Hinton Lectures™, co-founded by Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton, will return to Toronto on November 10-12. Owain Evans, a leading machine learning researcher in AI alignment, will be joined by global AI safety experts to explore the risks of Artificial General Intelligence.
The three-day event, hosted at the John W. H. Bassett Theatre, will bring experts to discuss the most pressing AI risks and how to forge a safer future.
“AI is advancing rapidly, and society needs to keep pace,” says Owain Evans. He added that he is honored to take part in The Hinton Lectures™ to bring these urgent issues into the public sphere.
The Hinton Lectures™ was co-founded by Geoffrey Hinton with the Global Risk Institute (GRI) in 2024 in partnership with AI Safety Foundation (AISF). The aim was to demystify AI for the public and provide a platform for open discussion on its future. The 2025 lectures will build on that momentum with in-person programming and a global livestream.
The Hinton Lectures™ is supported by Founding Sponsor Global Risk Institute, and Manulife as a presenting sponsor.
The 2025 lectures will be open to the public, with access available both in-person and via livestream. Tickets can be reserved in advance at hintonlectures.com.
Evans was selected by a nominating committee of five globally recognized AI safety experts, including Professor Geoffrey Hinton.
