Geoffrey Hinton Resigns Google To Warn Of Tech’s Dangers

Geoffrey Hinton, a computer scientist nicknamed ‘the godfather of artificial intelligence’ has left Google to speak out against the technology’s dangers.

According to Geoffrey Hinton, who developed a foundation technology for AI systems, advances in the subject pose profound risks to society and humanity.

He said, “Look at how it was five years ago and how it is now”.

He further said, “Take the difference and propagate it forward. That’s scary”.

Hinton stated that rivalry among digital behemoths was causing corporations to disclose new AI technologies at dangerously fast rates, putting employees at risk and spreading misinformation.

Mr. Hinton continued, “It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things”.

In 2022, Google and OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, began developing systems that used far bigger amounts of data than previously.

He argued that the amount of data that these systems were analyzing was exceeding human intelligence in some areas.

“Maybe what’s going on in these systems is actually a lot better than what’s going on in the brain”, Mr. Hinton.

While AI has been used to assist human workers, the rapid expansion of chatbots such as ChatGPT may endanger jobs.

AI takes away the drudge work, but it might take away more.

The expert also expressed concern about the possible spread of misinformation caused by AI, warning that the typical person will be influenced by it.
