Geoffrey Hinton is one of the great references in artificial intelligence. Perhaps one can agree more or less with their warnings about this technology, but the truth is that all of them usually achieve a strong media impact. It is not for less, especially because of how resounding that results and its curious analogies.
In the past, the Nobel Prize winner did not tremble at all the pulse by ensuring that computer teachers had the days counted (something that some other experts more or less share), or was even able to cut a talk with Elon Musk himself. Nevertheless, The new indications of the Father of AI seem more worrying for human beings.
Geoffrey Hinton insists on the dangers of AI
Many are the specialists who coincide with the same thing: artificial intelligence can become a threat to human beings. More or less as usually seen in films such as Terminator o Matrix. Not everyone agrees, it is true, but those who foresee an uncertain future, are usually quite overwhelming about it. And this group belongs to Geoffrey Hinton.
Are there really reasons to fear AI? In the opinion of who is one of the great pioneers in this technology, the answer is affirmative. In recent statements, Hinton has claimed to be extremely concerned about how quickly he advances artificial intelligenceand even ensures that there is a risk of being dominated by her in the future.
So much so, that the physicist has even dared to give a percentage. According to him, Right now there is a 10 or 20% chance that AI exceeds humanity one day. In addition, he has emphasized something that is essential for him: he says that people are not yet even conscious of what are the dangers to which they are exposed.
Therefore, to try to better explain what the situation is, it has resorted to a curious metaphor: «Imagine you had an adorable tiger puppy,» he said. It should be assumed that one day the animal would grow and run the risk of being eaten by him, right? Well, something like that thinks that it could happen with AI. The human being is playing with something that could overcome him, that simple.
The importance of regulated artificial intelligence
The main problem of the matter, considers Geoffrey Hinton, is the lack of regulation currently. The expert is not against this technology, so to speak, but that currently Companies are more concerned with revenue from some kind than to make the AI safe. And that could be a great risk, if your warnings are treated.
Without going any further, Hinton has pointed out to Google herself, a company of which she was part in the past. Much has rained since then and, it seems, Hinton seems more concerned with AI. For something it will be, whether it is what is.
