Godfather of AI: They Keep Silencing Me But I’m Trying to Warn Them!

The Diary Of A CEO

Resumen

Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer and Nobel laureate in AI, explains his transition from developing foundational neural networks to becoming one of the most prominent voices warning about the existential threats posed by superintelligence. The discussion explores the risks of AI, ranging from job displacement and digital echo chambers to lethal autonomous weapons and the potential for machines to surpass human intelligence. Hinton candidly addresses why he left Google to speak freely, the limitations of current regulation, and the ethical responsibility of those building the future of AI.

They call you the Godfather of AI. So, what would you be saying to people about their career prospects in a world of super intelligence? Train to be a plumber. Really? Yeah. Okay, I'm going to become a plumber. Geoffrey Hinton is the Nobel Prize-winning pioneer whose groundbreaking work has shaped AI and the future of humanity. Why do they call you the Godfather of AI? Because there weren't many people who believed that we could model AI on the brain so that it learned to do complicated things like recognize objects in images or even do reasoning. And I pushed that approach for 50 years. And then Google acquired that technology. And I worked there for 10 years on something that's now used all the time in AI. And then you left? Yeah. Why? So that I could talk freely at a conference. What did you want to talk about freely? How dangerous AI could be. I realized that these things will one da…
