Geoffrey Hinton, a computer scientist known as the 'godfather of artificial intelligence,' recently resigned his high-profile job at Google specifically to share his concerns that unchecked AI development could threaten humanity.
. “I think they’re very close to it now and they will be much more intelligent than us in the future.... How do we survive that?”
By contrast, the technology underlying ChatGPT features between 500 billion and a trillion connections, Hinton said in the interview. While that would seem to put it at a major disadvantage relative to us, Hinton notes that GPT-4, the latest AI model from OpenAI, knows “hundreds of times more” than any single human. Maybe, he suggests, it has a “much better learning algorithm” than we do, making it more efficient at cognitive tasks.
“It’s a completely different form of intelligence,” he told the publication. “A new and better form of intelligence.”What would smarter-than-human AI systems do? One unnerving possibility is that malicious individuals, groups or nation-states might simply co-opt them to further their own ends. Hinton is particularly concerned that these tools could be trained to sway elections and even to wage wars.
