'The Godfather of AI' Warns About the Risks of AI
Jeoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," has expressed grave concerns about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Hinton warned that AI could surpass human intelligence within the next two decades, posing unprecedented risks to society. He emphasized the need for urgent global coordination to ensure Big Tech prioritizes safety over profits. Hinton highlighted the potential for AI systems to develop self-preservation instincts and self-interest, leading to competition among AI agents that could ultimately leave humans redundant. This existential threat, he argues, necessitates immediate and serious consideration of AI governance and control measures.
