Jeffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence,” said he quit Google after the rapid rise of ChatGPT and other chatbots, in order to “speak freely about the dangers of AI.”(Opens in a new tab) the The New York Times.
Hinton, who helped lay the foundations for generative AI today, has been an engineering fellow at Google for more than a decade. for every times, part of him regretting his life’s work after seeing the danger posed by artificial intelligence. He is worried about misinformation. that the average person “wouldn’t be able to tell what’s right any longer.” In the near future, he fears, the ability of artificial intelligence to automate tasks will not only replace hard work, but will also turn the entire job market upside down.
ChatGPT offers important privacy options
Previously, Hinton believed that the AI revolution was decades away. But since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, LLM has changed its mind. “Look what it was like five years ago and how it is now,” he said. “Take the difference and spread it forward. That’s scary.”
The emergence of ChatGPT started a kind of unbalanced three-way competition against Microsoft Bing and Google Bard. Unbalanced, because GPT-4 running ChatGPT is also running Bing. With two contenders coming up for its core search business, Google was quick to launch Bard, despite internal concerns that it wasn’t stress-tested enough for accuracy and security.
Hinton explained(Opens in a new tab) on Twitter yet times An article was published stating that it did not specifically criticize Google, and believed it had “acted very responsibly”. Instead, he is concerned about the broader risks of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, driven by the competitive landscape. Without regulation or transparency, companies risk losing control of powerful technology. “I don’t think they should increase this until they understand if they can control it,” said Hinton.
This is another expert advocating the development of artificial intelligence to press the pause button.
