Geoffrey Hinton believes artificial intelligence will do enormous good but also could do enormous harm.
The man who helped set today's AI advancements in motion wants governments, companies and developers to carefully consider the best ways to safely advance the technology. Geoffrey Hinton, who has been called the 'Godfather of Artificial Intelligence,' retired from Google earlier this year. Hinton believes AI has the potential for good and harm. He said now is the moment to run experiments to understand AI and pass laws to ensure the technology is ethically used.
Hinton said he believes AI systems will eventually have self-awareness and consciousness.'I think we're moving into a period when, for the first time ever, we may have things more intelligent than us,' he said. AI may already be better at learning than the human mind, Hinton said. Currently, the biggest chatbots have about a trillion connections, but the human brain has about 100 trillion.
