Godfather of AI

December 29, 2012 - Geoffrey E. Hinton, the 2024 Nobel Prize winner in physics and known as the "godfather of AI," said in 2023 that there is a 10% chance that artificial intelligence will lead to catastrophic consequences for humanity. In a recent appearance on BBC Radio 4's Today program, Hinton said there is a 10% to 20% chance that AI will lead to the demise of the human race in the next thirty years, and warned that the technology is changing "much faster than expected," the Guardian reported on December 27th.

Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun published an interview with Jeffrey Hinton, the "godfather of AI" and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Canada, discussing the development and potential threats of AI. When asked how he sees the potential threat of AI, Hinton said, "Over the years, I have come to believe that AI is a superior intelligence that transcends human beings. Because of this, we need to seriously think about the question: if AI has beyond human intelligence, and even have the ability to control us, what does this mean for human society. This is not science fiction, but a tangible risk." Hinton argues that human beings only live for about...

Geoffrey Hinton, a professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, who has just won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics and is known as the "Godfather of AI," said in a live group interview on October 9, "I've had a lot of very smart students, much smarter than me! , who have done a lot of real work and had great careers. I'm particularly proud that one of my students fired (FIRED) Sam Altman." Hinton mentioned that the student was none other than Ilya Sutskever, the former chief scientist of OpenAI.Ilya Suts...

Yesterday afternoon, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced, and Prof. Jeffrey Hinton and Prof. John Hopfield were jointly awarded the prize for their innovative breakthroughs in the field of machine learning. In a conference call following the award, Jeffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," expressed his deep concern about the rapid development of AI technology. He emphasized the importance of addressing the potential risks of AI development, and that people must be concerned about possible adverse consequences. "AI will have a huge impact, similar to the industrial revolution. Instead of surpassing human physical strength, it will enhance our intelligence. We have previously...
