The “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence” has warned that artificial intelligence may escape human control

The famous Computer scientist Geoffrey HintonAlso known as”Godfather of artificial intelligence“, he warned in a recent interview CBS “60 Minutes” Which artificial intelligence It can escape human control by rewriting its code to improve itself. According to Hinton, progress is accelerating Artificial intelligence technology It could allow them to outperform humans in just five years.

Hinton, winner Turing Award 2018 For his innovative work in Amnesty International And the Deep learningresigned from his position as Vice President of Google in May to speak freely about the risks posed by artificial intelligence. Although Hinton recognizes the great benefit of artificial intelligence in industries such as… medical careI also noticed an increase in… Misinformation favored by Amnesty InternationalFake photos and videos online.

The scientist urged the need to conduct more research to understand Amnesty InternationalImplementing government regulations and global bans AI-powered military robots.

Furthermore, Hinton et al. Artificial intelligence experts They admit that they still do not fully understand how this technology works and develops. This problem has been mentioned before Google CEO Sundar PichaiSuch as the “black box” of artificial intelligence. According to Hinton, scientists evolve Algorithms For artificial intelligence systems to extract information from data sets. These learning algorithms interact with the data and produce Complex neural networksBut exactly how these systems perform their tasks remains a mystery.

Despite these warnings, other artificial intelligence specialists such as Yan to beHe, who also won the Turing Award and is considered “the other godfather of artificial intelligence,” played down concerns about loss of human control. Le Coun described warnings that artificial intelligence could replace humanity as exaggerated, arguing that humans can always control any technology that becomes too dangerous.

During a session in Capitol Hill Last month, lawmakers and tech executives like Pichai, Elon Musk, Sam Altman to OpenAI And Mark Zuckerberg to Goal They discussed similar ideas when talking about the need to balance government regulations and policies that favor innovation. Hinton stressed the urgent need to implement safeguards for AI, both by technology companies and those imposed by them Federal government of the United States.

Speaking about the future of artificial intelligence on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Hinton urged technology and government leaders to make critical decisions about whether to continue developing these technologies and how to protect themselves if they do. Hinton concluded that “we may be at something of a turning point” and stressed the “enormous uncertainty” about what will happen next.

The interview highlighted the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and the ethical and safety concerns raised by its rapid development.

• Super intelligence: Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), points out that we are entering an era where… Machines may be smarter than humans
• Awareness and self-awarenessHinton believes that although artificial intelligence is currently… Lack of self-awarenessThey will likely develop it in the future.
• Accidental origin: He reveals that his work in artificial intelligence arose from a failure in the 1970s when he was trying to simulate a neural network to study the human brain.
• Turing Award: In 2019, Hinton and his collaborators Yann LeCun and Joshua Bengio received the Turing Award, considered the Nobel Prize in computer science, for their work in neural networks.
• Self-education: The famous scientist explains that AI systems are not programmed to perform specific tasks but learn through learning algorithms, raising concerns about human control.
• Risks and benefits: While AI has great potential in fields like healthcare, Hinton warns of immediate risks like unemployment, disinformation, and automation on the battlefield.
• Uncertainty in the future: The “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence” emphasizes the necessity of government regulations and international treaties to mitigate the risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence.
