Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned figure in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), has resigned from his position at Google, citing concerns about the dangers posed by AI. Hinton’s work on neural networks has been instrumental in developing AI systems used in many of today’s products.
In a recent tweet, Hinton explained that he left Google so that he could speak openly about the risks associated with AI. He clarified that he did not resign due to any criticism of Google.
Hinton highlighted some of the dangers posed by AI chatbots, including the possibility that they could become more intelligent than humans and be exploited by ‘bad actors.’ He also expressed concerns about the ‘existential risk’ of AI becoming more intelligent than humans.
