We have to be careful, otherwise AI can easily take over – this is what Geoffrey Hinton, also known as the Godfather of AI, talked about in a recent interview.

With the sudden rise of artificial intelligence, critical or risk warning voices have also become louder. Suffice it to think about the letter signed by experts in March of this year, in which famous researchers in the field of artificial intelligence asked them to stop all artificial intelligence research “immediately, for at least half a year.”

Geoffrey Hinton, also referred to as the Godfather of AI, left Google at the beginning of the year and even then expressed his concerns about the technology. Later, his name also appeared in another joint statement signed by military intelligence leaders.

Hinton is now CBS On his show 60 Minutes, he expressed his bleak vision of the future: he sees artificial intelligence breaking free from human control and taking over within five years.





the In an interview He explained that if artificial intelligence develops further, it may also be able to rewrite its own code and thus break free from human control, and take over the entire world. This is what we should be very concerned about, warns the specialist.

Of course, this does not mean that from now on we should look with fear at all systems based on artificial intelligence, when they are built on self-awareness. On the other hand, the fact that the specialists who participated in its creation warn about the dangers of technology is certainly thought-provoking.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that technology will soon become self-aware, like Skynet in the Terminator movie. However, it can be highlighted that it may be useful to draw boundaries at some point, especially since in many respects, even experts do not fully understand the reason for what is happening in AI systems.
