Good people
The scientist, known as the 'Godfather of AI' <https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alihkassim_nobody-wants-to-be-another-oppenheimer-activity-7059013636668702721--CZm?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop>, has quit Google where he used to work.
He clarified in a tweet that he quit so that he can speak freely on the dangers of #AI <https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=ai&highlightedUpdateUrns=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7059013636668702721> without worrying about how that would impact Google <https://www.linkedin.com/company/google/>.
Geoffrey Hinton, who alongside two other so-called “Godfathers of AI” won the 2018 Turing Award <https://awards.acm.org/about/2018-turing> for their foundational work that led to the current boom in artificial intelligence, now says a part of him regrets his life’s work.
“The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that,” said Hinton to The New York Times <https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-york-times/>. “But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that.”
😳🤔
What is the truth?
