Artificial intelligence could pose a threat more urgent than climate change

Mr. Hinton is known as one of the “fathers” of artificial intelligence and a leader in the field of technology.

Recently, Mr. Hinton announced his withdrawal from Alphabet, the parent company of Google, after a decade of working. He said he wanted to be more clear about the risks of this technology without affecting the old company.

Mr. Hinton’s work is considered to play an important role in the development of today’s AI systems. What Mr. Hinton has done is considered to have laid the foundation for the development of contemporary AI systems. In 1986, Mr. Hinton co-authored the seminal paper “Learning representations by back-propagating errors”, an important milestone in the development of underpinning AI technology. He was awarded the Turing Prize honoring breakthroughs in AI research in the same year.

Now, however, Mr. Hinton is one of a growing number of tech experts openly voicing concern about the potential threat when AI gains intelligence above human levels and takes control. planet. He openly expressed concern about the threat from AI if machines equipped with technology that are smarter than humans and control the Earth.

Mr. Hinton said the world must continue to do active research, pouring resources into figuring out what to do with AI technology. Tech companies and politicians also need to get involved. AI affects everyone and therefore everyone has to pay attention to this technology.

OpenAI, with the backing from Microsoft, has started the race to equip AI when announcing the ChatGPT application in November 2022. The app quickly set a record for the fastest growing in history, reaching 100 million monthly active users in just two months.
