The Growing Concerns Surrounding AI and its Future Impact.

Geoffrey Hinton, an eminent British scientist and pioneer of artificial intelligence (AI), has left Google to express his concerns about the direction of the technology. Hinton's research unlocked the technology that is now loose in the world, and he is worried about the fact that the new machines are much better and faster learners than humans. He is also concerned that this powerful technology is entirely in the hands of a few huge corporations, and that they are locked in a competition that might be impossible to stop.
