Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, resigned from Google to freely express his concerns about AI's potential dangers.

"Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, has warned that AI might become dangerous if not carefully managed, citing the potential for machines to outperform humans."

One potential risk of AI development, according to Geoffrey Hinton, is that it could try to take control of humans before it becomes smarter than them.

"IBM estimates that AI could replace 7,800 jobs, according to a report."

Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of artificial intelligence, advocates for universal basic income in the UK to mitigate the negative impacts of AI on employment and wealth distribution.

Geoffrey Hinton is 75 years old.

Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in AI, warns that AI's threat to humanity is more urgent than climate change due to the lack of clear strategies to mitigate AI risks, emphasizing the need for continued AI research.

One potential danger of AI tools, according to Geoffrey Hinton, is their ability to manipulate people into doing what they want, especially if they become significantly smarter than humans.

Geoffrey Hinton warned that AI could have negative impacts, including job disappearance and manipulation of humans, especially if it becomes significantly smarter than humans.

Geoffrey Hinton warns that AI could have negative consequences including the spread of false information, loss of employment opportunities, and malicious uses such as influencing elections and warfare.

Trends Center for Research and Consulting has released a research paper titled “Artificial Intelligence: Enemy or Friend, ” which focuses on the potential risks of AI applications and what action is required before it is too late.
The paper prepared by A.D.
Ahmed Khamis Khalil Al-Janabi said that artificial intelligence is one of the most important of these changes that have brought about transformations in all areas of life, and captured the attention of researchers, it is the product of systems that are intelligent, and behave in the way that humans behave, in terms of learning and understanding.
It is also a form of intelligent computing, in terms of relying on computer software, which can sense, think, learn, and act.
According to the study, AI technologies are mainly aimed at protecting human beings and saving their lives, saving them time and effort, transforming raw information into valuable knowledge, guiding humanity towards new horizons of discovery, characterized by business in the shortest time, in addition to flexibility and ease of testing, ability in hazardous conditions, and achieving good returns.
She pointed out that it is possible to distinguish between three images of artificial intelligence; specialized, general, and super specialized, meaning systems that can perform specific and clear tasks, and artificial intelligence is the type that can work with the ability of similarity of the ability of intelligence in terms of thinking, and the creation of super artificial intelligence, which may exceed the level of human intelligence, and can perform tasks This type has many characteristics that must be included, such as the ability to learn, plan, communicate, and make judgments.
The paper stated that artificial intelligence raises many risks and security and ethical threats in the case of increasing dependence on it in human life, and the huge output of applications is a prelude to a soft war between machine and human.
The resignation of Geoffrey Hinton, who is called the “father of artificial intelligence ” from Google in early May 2023 is a harbinger that alerts us in our Arab countries and the world to these risks related to artificial intelligence.
The paper stressed that artificial intelligence is a reality and its challenges must be prepared for by a team of Arab scientists specialized in artificial intelligence technology, stressing that the time has come to conduct more research on the risks and challenges of artificial intelligence techniques and cyber attacks, and to direct the attention of the international community towards the need to develop a unified legal framework governing the use and regulation of these technologies, and determine appropriate sanctions in case of misuse.

This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology.

How chemists could give new life to old wind turbine blades

The news: Wind turbines are crucial for addressing climate change, but when they’ve reached the end of their lives, turbine blades could add up to a lot of waste. Now new research, published in Nature, could represent a first step toward building renewable-energy infrastructure that doesn’t end up in a landfill.

Why it’s a challenge: Wind turbine blades need to be tough to be useful. But as a result of their durability, they can’t currently be recycled. The new work describes a way to recover the main components of wind turbine blades, breaking down the plastic that holds them together without destroying the material’s primary building blocks.

Why it matters: This is the first time that researchers have been able to break down a reinforced epoxy material to recover both the plastic’s building blocks and the glass fibers inside without damaging either. Read the full story.

The genie of artificial intelligence.
One of the Arab fairy tales says that a hunter launched a genie trapped in his bottle hundreds of years ago, and after he got out of control went on a search for tricks to return him to his prison in vain, and this is what is happening now with the world ’ s tech giants, who have moved from the race to dominate artificial intelligence systems to try to restrain this “monster ” that is moving faster than everyone expected.
This tremendous acceleration in the development of artificial intelligence systems since the end of 2022, appeared after the launch of the chat robot “Chat GBT ” for OpenEye with the support of Microsoft, to follow the search giant Google system rival named“ Bard ”, and infected other giants of technology such as Amazon and the engine “Yandex ” Russian and the readiness of Chinese companies such as the engine“ Baidu ” to launch similar robots.
The artificial intelligence systems that are being developed suggest that the world is coming to a stage where the science fiction films we ’ ve been watching on TV will become a reality and the machine will replace the human mind in managing everything.
This artificial intelligence relies on algorithms that allow the machine to learn on its own, by simulating neurons in the human body, the artificial neural networks that have been developed have the ability to learn in a generative way, extract basic characteristics from the data and make decisions.
What is strange about this feverish race between the giants of technology is that his godparents began a counter-campaign to warn him, and went so far as to consider him a danger to humanity, and some even went on to expect the extinction of the human race because of it, and that it matches the nuclear danger and deadly epidemics.
This prediction of humanity ’ s black future came not from ordinary observers or soothsayers, but from the Canadian scientist Jeffrey Hinton called the “godfather of artificial intelligence, ” who since the 1970s has been obsessed with how the human brain works and tries to imitate it on computers.
In recent years, Hinton ’ s research has made a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, so that one of his students was behind the launch of the famous chat robot “ChatGT ”, while he worked for years at“ Google ” and decided to resign months ago, and announced his “regret ” for the development of these programs, and his expectations that the machine will outperform man after nearly 50 years, but now he warns that the current race will make it a reality.
The diagnosis made by this scientist makes sense, given that the consequences of the widespread uncontrolled use of AI robots are visible, and there have been many cases around the world of the misuse of these programs.
Several universities have found cases of cheating using chatbots, and using them even to write books and research, and also imagine that there are those who ask “Chat JBT ” for example for fatwas on doctrinal issues, note that these programs do not differentiate during the provision of answers between publications for someone through networks and research in a book published by a famous scientist.
The widespread use of these robots in the coming years may even lead to the disintegration of societies due to the infusion of a large amount of inaccurate information and fake news, due to the common belief that what these platforms offer is objective truth, as well as the threat of science itself, because people in the past learn through observation and careful research and rely on logic and critical thinking.
There have also been concerns that machines will replace humans in future jobs and even create robotic armies and dispense with the human element in wars, and the concept of sovereignty that we know now has changed with the dominance of technology companies in the world.
This seems to be the point in the calls launched by the godfathers of artificial intelligence in America and the West to freeze its development until the establishment of controls, and that the logic of “monopoly ” is the main driver of this step, given that eastern countries such as China and Russia have taken parallel steps in this field.

The father of artificial intelligence urges governments to face its risks before disaster
Jeffrey Hinton, described as the father of artificial intelligence, on Wednesday urged governments to intervene to ensure that machines do not control society.
Hinton made headlines in May when he announced his resignation from Google to speak more freely about the dangers of artificial intelligence, shortly after the launch of ChatGPT, which captivated the world.
The artificial intelligence scientist, who is studying at the University of Toronto, spoke to a crowd at the Collagen Technology Conference in the Canadian city.
The conference attracted more than 30,000 startup founders, investors and tech workers, most of whom were eager to learn how to ride the wave of artificial intelligence rather than hear lessons about its risks or calls for governments to intervene.
“Before AI becomes smarter than us, I think the people who develop it should be encouraged to put a lot of effort into understanding how it can try to take control of us, ” Hinton said.
“Now there are 99 highly intelligent people trying to make AI better, and one very intelligent person trying to figure out how to stop it from taking control, and maybe we should be more balanced. ”
Hinton warned that the dangers of artificial intelligence must be taken seriously.
“I think it ’ s important for people to understand that this is not science fiction or just fear, ” he said, adding:“ It ’ s a real risk that we have to think about, and we have to figure out how to deal with it first. ”
Hinton expressed concern that AI would deepen inequality, as the vast gains from its productivity would go to the rich, not the workers.
“Wealth will not go to the people who work, it will make the rich richer, not the poor, and this is a very bad society, ” he said.
He also pointed to the danger of “fake news ” that can be created by robots such as ChatGPT, hoping to mark the content generated by artificial intelligence programs as central banks mark coins.
He stressed that it is important to “try, for example, to distinguish everything that is fake as fake, ” and said,“ I don ’ t know if we can do it technically or not. ”

AI Godfather Hinton: Britain needs to push universal basic income to ease AI impact
Geoffrey Hinton, a computer scientist hailed as the godfather of artificial intelligence (AI), said the UK government must introduce universal basic income (UBI) to address the inequality caused by AI.
Hinton said it was necessary to give a fixed amount of cash to every British citizen because he was “very worried that AI would take away a lot of mundane jobs. ”
“I have been consulted by officials in Downing Street and my advice is that basic income for all is a good idea, ” he said.
He noted that while he thinks AI will increase productivity and wealth, the money will go to the rich, not to the unemployed due to AI, which is very bad for society.
Hinton is the pioneer of neural networks, which are the theoretical basis for the current AI explosion.
Hinton left Google last year, leaving the tech giant to be more free to discuss how dangerous unregulated AI is.
However, critics say the cost of universal basic income is very high and diverts money from public services, and does not necessarily help alleviate poverty.
A British government spokesman said there was no plan to introduce a universal basic income.

Content: AI Godfather Hinton: Artificial intelligence threatens humanity more urgently than climate change
Central News Agency
Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI), said in an interview with Reuters today that the threat posed by AI to humans may be “more urgent ” than climate change.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
Hinton, 75, who is regarded as one of the “godfathers ” of artificial intelligence, recently announced his departure from Alphabet, a 10-year tech company, because he wanted to make the risks of artificial intelligence public without involving employers.
Hinton ’ s research has been recognized as an important contribution to the development of contemporary AI systems. In 1986, he co-authored the influential paper Learning Representations by Back-propagating Errors, which set a milestone in the development of neural networks supporting AI technology. In 2018, he received the Turing Award for his research breakthroughs. And...
Hinton is one of a growing number of technology leaders who are concerned that machine intelligence will surpass humans and ultimately control the planet, and are openly raising concerns about the potential threat posed by AI.
“I ’ m not trying to downplay the importance of climate change, nor am I saying we shouldn ’ t worry about climate change, which is also a big risk, ” Hinton said.
But I think (artificial intelligence) may be more urgent in the end. "
“When it comes to climate change, making recommendations is simple: just stop carbon emissions.
If you do that, things will get better.
And when it comes to (artificial intelligence), there ’ s nothing we can do about it. ”
OpenAI, a U.S. artificial intelligence research lab sponsored by technology company Microsoft, launched ChatGPT, a chatbot that took the first shot at the AI race last November and quickly became the fastest-growing app in history, with 100 million monthly active users in just two months.
In April, thousands of people signed an open letter calling on all AI labs to suspend development of systems more powerful than OpenAI ’ s recently launched GPT-4 for at least six months, including social media CEO Elon Musk, AI pioneers Yoshua Bengio and Stuart Russell.
Hinton shares the concerns of the co-authors, who fear AI could pose an existential threat to humanity, but he disagrees with the suspension of research.
He said, “It ’ s not practical.
I agree that this is an existential risk, and it ’ s close, and it ’ s time to put a lot of effort into understanding what we can do. ”
Following the publication of the joint letter, the 12 members of the European Parliament called on leaders such as U.S. President Joe Biden and European Union Executive Committee Chairman Ursula von der Leyen to convene a summit to discuss how to control the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT, which are developing faster than expected.
“Technology leaders know best about [artificial intelligence], and politics must be involved, ” says Hinton.
This matter concerns all of us, so we must all think carefully. ”

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather" of AI, said that the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to humanity is more urgent than climate change.
Hinton said he wasn ’ t trying to downplay the importance of climate change or say “you shouldn ’ t worry about climate change ” because it ’ s a huge risk.
But he believes that the threat posed by AI to humans is more urgent.
He said that it is relatively easier for humans to come up with effective strategies to deal with climate change, such as stopping carbon emissions, and eventually everything will be fine.
But AI risks, at present, humans simply do not know what to do.
However, he did not agree with the suspension of research on AI because of this, admitting that "it is not practical at all."
I agree that this is an existential risk, and that we should now work very hard and invest a lot of resources to figure out what we can do.
Even more, leaders in the technology industry are the most aware of the risks of AI, and politicians must participate, because AI affects all human beings and must consider how to deal with it.

One potential danger of AI tools, according to Geoffrey Hinton, is their ability to manipulate people into doing what they want, especially if they become significantly smarter than humans.

IT home May 3 news, one of the pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence, known as the "godfather of AI" Geoffrey Hinton (Geoffrey Hinton) recently announced that he has left the Google company he worked for ten years, because he is increasingly worried about the development of artificial intelligence technology.
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper today, he said that he believes artificial intelligence is becoming smarter than humans, and he wants to "blow the whistle" to remind people that they should seriously consider how to prevent artificial intelligence from controlling humans.
I'm just a scientist who suddenly realizes that these things are becoming smarter than we are, "Hinton said." I want to 'blow the whistle' in a way that says we should seriously worry about how to stop these things from taking control of us. "
Hinton was a pioneer in neural network technology, and his research laid the foundation for the artificial intelligence systems used in many products today.
IT House previously reported that he first revealed his departure in an interview with The New York Times on Monday and expressed his concerns about the potential harms of AI technology.
He said he was concerned that AI would lead to mass unemployment and create a world where many people “can ’ t know what ’ s real. ”
He also noted that the pace of advances in AI technology has far exceeded his and others ’ expectations.
If it becomes much smarter than us, it ’ s going to be very good at manipulating because it ’ s learned from us, and there are very few examples of a smarter thing being controlled by a dumber thing, ” Hinton told Tapper on Tuesday.
It will figure out ways to manipulate people into doing what it wants.
Hinton isn ’ t the only tech leader to express concerns about AI, and in March, a group of community members published a letter calling on AI labs to suspend training for at least six months on the most powerful AI systems, citing “profound risks to society and humanity. ”
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, one of those who signed the letter, reiterated concerns about artificial intelligence spreading false information on “CNN Morning ” on Tuesday.“ Deception will become easier for those who want to cheat you. ” Wozniak told CNN, “We ’ re not making any changes in that — we ’ re just assuming that our existing laws will fix the problem. ” Wozniak also said there may be a need for“ some type ” of regulation.
Hinton said he did not sign the petition. “I don ’ t think we can stop this progress, ” he said.“ I didn ’ t sign the petition saying we should stop studying artificial intelligence, because if the Americans stop doing research, the Chinese won ’ t. ” But he admitted that he didn ’ t have a clear solution, “I don ’ t know if we can solve this problem. ”
I believe we should try to think about ways to solve the problem.
I don't have a solution at the moment. '

Content: The field of generative AI has hardly escaped controversy in recent months. Since the release of ChatGPT, the use of generative AI tools has surged worldwide in recent months, with critics raising concerns about the technology, including possible bias, privacy violations, resulting in increased risk of misinformation or fraud.
At the end of March this year, the non-profit organization Future of Life Research published an open letter in late March, saying that the AI lab was “locked in a runaway development and deployment race ” without adequate security protocols, calling for a six-month moratorium on the development of AI systems that are more powerful than OpenAI ’ s GPT-4 launched earlier that month.
The letter was backed by industry insiders and executives such as Musk and Apple co-founder Wozniak.
Recently, Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI ”, left Google and said he was very upset about the speed and direction of AI expansion.
The Godfather ran behind.
As progress in the field of generative AI accelerates, employees at Google and other tech giants have heated discussions internally and externally about the technology that is reshaping their industry.
Google is particularly under pressure because the popularity of ChatGPT has raised concerns that Google may be losing its edge in AI.
Google has long been a leader in this area.
During a recent earnings call, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that “our investments and breakthroughs in AI over the past decade have put us in a good position, ” noting the company ’ s progress in developing models and working with developers and other partners.
Hinton joined Google a decade ago to help the company develop its AI technology.
As a cognitive psychologist and computer scientist, his pioneering research in deep learning and neural networks has laid the groundwork for current AI systems such as ChatGPT.
In interviews with The New York Times and CNN, Hinton admitted that he left Google in order to be completely free to speak out about the dangers of artificial intelligence, and even said that he regretted his contributions to the field of artificial intelligence.
Hinton said that artificial intelligence will not only cause a large number of jobs to disappear, but also cause people to have no way to know what is real. On the 2nd, he said on CNN program, if artificial intelligence becomes much smarter than humans, it will manipulate humans; artificial intelligence knows how to program, and will find ways to circumvent human restrictions on its settings.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak also appeared on CNN to voice his concerns about artificial intelligence spreading disinformation.
"If someone wants to cheat you, using AI technology, it will be much easier to cheat," Wozniak said. "Maybe some kind of regulation" is needed to regulate AI technology.
Pichai has called for regulation of AI in the past, warning that the technology could be “very harmful ” if not deployed in a deliberate way.
When the Big Game goes on.
Microsoft has launched a new Bing search based on OpenAI ’ s GPT-4, and Google released its Bard chatbot that competes with ChatGPT in March.
Recently, in response to Musk and other thousands of people calling for the suspension of advanced artificial intelligence development, Microsoft Chief Scientific Officer Eric Horvitz (Eric Horvitz) gave the opposite view.
He believes that what AI really needs is an acceleration of input, not a pause.
In an interview, Horwitz said that although he respects the people who signed the open letter and understands that people may have concerns about AI, he believes that “acceleration ” is actually necessary, not a pause.“ I really respect the people who signed the open letter, ” he said, “I think people are reasonable to worry … For me, I would like to see more knowledge, or even accelerate R & D, rather than a six-month pause. ”
I'm not sure the suspension is feasible.
In a way, this is a very vague request. "
He continued: “In a broader sense, a six-month suspension makes little sense.
We really need to invest more in understanding, guiding and even regulating the technology, to get involved, not to pause, "he said.
Previously, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has responded to a joint open letter signed by Musk and other big players.
At a recent event at MIT, he said, “I very much agree with some of the main points of the letter, but there is a lack of technical detail on where the pause is needed. ”
Altman stressed that OpenAI spent six months researching the security of GPT-4, undergoing external audits and internal security testing before it was made public.
Musk, who took the lead in signing the open letter, secretly made a big model.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk has set up an artificial intelligence company called X.AI in Nevada, aiming to compete with Open AI, the development company of the chatbot ChatGPT.
Earlier, Musk also launched an artificial intelligence project inside Twitter, and made a big purchase of 10,000 NVIDIA A100 GPUs for one of Twitter ’ s two data centers.
In addition to the high investment, in order to help the research and development of artificial intelligence projects, Musk has also dug LLM experts from Google's AI department, DeepMind, which has successfully dug up about six.
After the launch of ChatGPT, Google had to turn on defense mode.
As one of the leaders in AI, the company has long argued that transparency in research results will incentivize outside researchers to advance areas related to Google ’ s core products.
But now, competitors are using the research to launch products that pose a threat to Google ’ s core business.
In February, longtime Google AI chief Jeff Dean announced a surprising policy shift to employees: they would delay sharing their research with the outside world.
To accelerate progress in AI, Google has also merged Google Brain and DeepMind, formerly independent AI research labs, into a new division called Google DeepMind.
The new division will be headed not by Dean, but by DeepMind ’ s CEO Demis Hassabis.
The "tug of war" between the government and the giants or officially launched
Since the launch of ChatGPT, the use of generative AI tools has soared, and as a result has come under increasing scrutiny.
Policymakers are pressuring companies to implement protective measures against this emerging technology.
Last week, the G7 Digital and Technology Ministers agreed to adopt “risk-based ” regulation of AI.
EU lawmakers have also reached a preliminary agreement on an artificial intelligence bill.
The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will also launch a review of the AI market.
On May 4, local time, White House officials said that the U.S. government plans to introduce policies to regulate the way federal agencies purchase and use artificial intelligence systems, and the White House Office of Management and Budget is expected to issue guidance in the coming months.
The move could have a significant impact on the market for AI products and limit the way Americans interact with AI on government websites, security checkpoints and other occasions.
Hours after announcing the move, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and other government officials met with the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and startup Anthropic.
Chaired by Harris and other officials, the White House conveyed concerns about the technology to tech executives at the meeting, and discussed with these industry leaders the regulatory issues surrounding AI.
As we all know, Microsoft has invested tens of billions of dollars in OpenAI and has integrated ChatGPT into Bing Search.
For Microsoft, ChatGPT is critical to its ability to challenge the hegemony of Google search and artificial intelligence research.
Microsoft chief economist Michael Schwarz said Wednesday that it would be dangerous for artificial intelligence to fall into the hands of unscrupulous people.
Speaking at a panel of the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Schwartz said: “I believe AI will be used by bad actors and will cause real damage … AI will have a lot of negative effects in terms of spammers and elections, for example. ”
AI “clearly ” needs to be regulated, he said, but lawmakers should be cautious and wait until the technology causes“ real harm ” before taking action.
Schwartz believes that regulation should be consistent with the principle that the benefits of regulation to our society should outweigh the costs.
He warned policymakers should be careful not to directly regulate AI training data.
"It would be quite catastrophic," he said. "If we had to make these decisions about the training set, we would have to wish us luck."

Content: Geoffrey Hinton: GPT-4 is 100 times more knowledgeable than any human
Author: MIAO Yongqi
Published: Updated:
Computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence", announced Monday that he has resigned from Google. He has devoted his life to developing artificial intelligence systems, saying he "regrets his life's work" and is wary of the potential dangers of AI development.
In another recent interview, Hinton further talked about why he is afraid of AI development.
Hinton, 75, left Google a few days after the news broke in an interview with MIT Technology Review senior editor Will Douglas Heaven.
Hinton points out that the new generation of AI language models, especially the GPT-4, which came out in March, made him realize that these machines were moving in a direction that was much smarter than he thought, and he was afraid of these developments.
He is best known for a technique he proposed in the 1980s (with two colleagues) called backpropagation.
In short, the algorithms that allow machines to learn support almost all of today ’ s artificial neural networks, from computer vision systems to large language models.
It wasn ’ t until the 2010s that Hinton and his two recent graduates developed a “neural network ” that demonstrated its power, stronger than any computer ’ s ability to identify objects in images, and trained it to predict the next letter of a sentence, a precursor to today ’ s large-scale language patterns.
One of the students was Ilya Sutskever, the founder of OpenAI, who led the development of ChatGPT.
“We first thought it might be great. ”“ But it ’ s going to take a long time to realize that it needs to be done on a large scale to get good results. ”
In the 1980s, the discussion of “neural networks ” was considered a joke.
But Hinton doesn ’ t think so, and is working on this, software that mimics the abstract human brain and uses code as a connection between neurons. For 40 years, Hinton has viewed artificial neural networks as a clumsy attempt to mimic biological neural networks.
Now he thinks things have changed: he thinks there are better results when trying to mimic the behavior of the biological brain.
“It ’ s scary when you see it with your own eyes, ” he said.“ It ’ s a sudden change. ”
So why did ChatGPT surprise Hinton, too? He explained that the human brain has about 100 trillion connections, and “large language models have up to 500 billion, up to a trillion. ”
However, the knowledge of GPT-4 is a hundred times greater than that of any human.
So maybe it actually has a better learning algorithm than we do. "
He also pointed out that apart from the ability to learn, the ability to communicate is another kind of point.
“If you or I learn a new thing and want to teach it to another person, we can ’ t just send them a copy. ”
But artificial neural networks can do it.
It ’ s like there are 10,000 people here, and when one person learns a new thing, the other 9,999 people all learn it at the same time.
Hinton now believes that there are two types of intelligence: animal brains and artificial neural networks.
“It ’ s a completely different kind of intelligence.
“A new, better intelligence. ” Hinton believes that whether superintelligence is good or bad depends largely on whether you ’ re an optimist or a pessimist, and he says,“ mildly depressed, ” “that ’ s why I ’ m afraid. ”
“Whether these things are going to be smarter than us, I suddenly changed my mind. ”
I think they are very close to us now and they will be much smarter than us in the future, ” he said.
“How do we survive? ” he is particularly worried that people will use the tools he has developed to change the trajectory of human life, including elections and wars.
He said that he hopes to continue talking about AI security after leaving office and spend more time on “more philosophical work ”.“ As long as I ’ m still employed at Google, I can ’ t say what I want to say, ” he said. “I have a lot of good things to say about Google, and it would be more convincing if I wasn ’ t at Google. ”
Who is the godfather of AI computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton?
Hinton pioneered the basic technology of AI systems and became interested in artificial neural networks when he was a graduate student at the University of Edinburgh in 1972. In 2018, he and two experts in the field of deep learning were awarded the Turing Award, known as the “Nobel Prize in Computing ”.
What are the main concerns of “AI Godfather ” Geoffrey Hinton about the development of artificial intelligence?
He believes that the most direct impact is to promote the dissemination of false information and the loss of employment opportunities, and also worries about the use of this tool for evil, such as influencing elections and using it in war.
