"The 'godfather of AI' reveals the dangers that its misuse is already causing today"

(By Dino Dal Molin) Geoffrey Hinton is known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence". He was one of the pioneers in the research of neural networks and deep learning, laying the foundation for the current development of artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT. Neural networks are systems similar to the human brain in the way they learn and process information, allowing artificial intelligence systems to learn from experience.

Hinton has pointed out that chatbots could soon surpass the level of information contained in a human brain, which he considers terrifying.

Why did he resign from Google?

Hinton resigned from Google because he wanted to speak freely about the dangers of artificial intelligence without worrying about the impact it could have on Google. Although Hinton has stated that Google has been responsible in its approach to artificial intelligence, he has expressed concern about how technology companies are competing in the field of artificial intelligence.

What dangers does he warn about its use today?

Hinton has publicly expressed his concern about the dangers of artificial intelligence, stating that this technology threatens humanity because it works better than the human brain and no one can guarantee that it can be controlled. Hinton has identified three short-term dangers: the creation of digital content that is impossible for the average user to verify, the elimination of jobs in many trades, and the danger of artificial intelligence systems becoming autonomous weapons.

Hinton has pointed out that chatbots could soon surpass the level of information contained in a human brain, which he considers terrifying.

In his opinion, the responsibility lies with scientists who explore the functioning of computer neural networks, but the problem is how to mitigate long-term risks, especially if things smarter than us take control. Hinton is also concerned about the possibility of bad actors using artificial intelligence to automatically produce texts with misleading information or to develop "killer robots".
