AI Pioneer Warns of Impending Danger as Technology Advances Beyond Human Intelligence

Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of AI," warns of the "serious danger" that AI will become smarter than humans and potentially take control with bad motives. He believes politicians and industry leaders need to address this issue now. Hinton also notes that artificial general intelligence, which can understand any intellectual task a human can, may be only five years away. While he acknowledges the benefits of AI, he urges leaders to put resources into keeping control even when AI is smarter than humans.

The Godfather of AI warns of technology surpassing human intelligence.

Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of artificial intelligence," who left his job at Google this week, is warning about the dangers AI poses to humanity. Hinton is calling for a global agreement similar to the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention to establish international rules against weaponized AI. He argues that AI technology is becoming too powerful and could outsmart humans, creating a potential for these models to end humanity. Hinton's major AI breakthrough came in 2012, and he is responsible for a tech breakthrough that serves as the foundation of current AIs like ChatGPT.

The Controversial Legacy of the 'Godfather of AI'

Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of artificial intelligence," has been receiving requests to share his knowledge on AI since he announced his resignation from Google to speak freely about the dangers of AI. He has agreed to share his wisdom with Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk, and the White House, but they might not like his advice. Hinton disagrees with the US government's concerns around national security and is not on board with the private ownership of the media and means of computation. He warns that there is a danger of something really bad happening with AI and that he doesn't know any examples of more intelligent things being controlled by less intelligent things.
