It's him Geoffrey Hinton, known as "godfather of AI,” who told the New York Times that he resigned as a Google vice president and engineer in April to freely warn about the dangers associated with artificial intelligence. The researcher is concerned that Google, in an attempt to compete with the Chat GPT, the bingchat and similar models, opens the door to multiple ethical problems.
In the short term, Hinton worries that artificial intelligence could lead to a wave of misinformation. It can "no longer being able to know what is true", he says. He also worries that AI may not only eliminate “chore,” but replace some jobs entirely. Moving forward, the scientist worries both about the possibility of full autonomy and the tendency of AI models to learn strange behavior from training data.
Although some of these issues are theoretical, o Hinton he fears an escalation, without regulations, that will not be able to be controlled. He emphasized that his attitude began to change last year, when the GoogleThe OpenAI and other companies have begun to create AI systems that it believes are sometimes superior to human intelligence.
