Jeffrey Hinton, the “godfather” of Artificial Intelligence, has left Google. Hinton has worked at Google for more than ten years, warning about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.
The 75-year-old Hinton, known for his research into the development and operation of neural networks, draws attention to the fact that artificial intelligence is becoming more dangerous and can be used negatively.
“Look at what happened five years ago and what’s happening now… Compare the difference and project it into the future. It is terrible. I have concluded that the type of artificial intelligence we are developing is very different from the intelligence we have. Let’s say you have 10 thousand people, and when one person learns something, automatically, everyone learns it. This is how these chatbots can know so much more than anyone else. People will no longer be able to understand what is created by artificial intelligence: photos, videos, and texts are flooding the Internet,” the specialist said. He also claimed that AI’s uncontrollable and uncontrolled growth would lead to widespread unemployment.
Hinton’s research paved the way for current systems like ChatGPT. Hinton told the New York Times that until last year he thought Google was a “responsible company” in technology, but that changed after Microsoft began incorporating the chatbot into its Bing search engine. The company became concerned about the risk associated with it.
