AI 'godfather' Geoffrey Hinton warns of dangers as he quits Google
A Man widely seen as The Godfather of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has quit his job, warning about the growing dangers from developments in The Field .
Geoffrey Hinton , aged 75, announced his resignation from Google in a statement to the New York Times, saying he now regretted his work.
And in a BBC interview on Monday, He Said : " I can now just speak freely about what I think the dangers might be.
" And some of them are quite scary. "
Dr Hinton's pioneering research on Deep Learning and Neural Networks has paved The Way for current AI systems like ChatGPT.
But the British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist told The Bbc the chatbot could soon overtake The Level of information that a human brain holds.
" Right now, what we're seeing is things like GPT-4 eclipses a person in the amount of General Knowledge it has and it eclipses them by a long way. In terms of reasoning, it's not as good, but it does already do simple reasoning.
" And given the rate of progress, we expect things to get better quite fast. So we need to worry About That . Right now, they're not more intelligent than us, As Far as I can tell. But I think they soon may be. "
In the New York Times article, Dr Hinton referred to " bad actors" who would try use AI for " bad things".
When asked by The Bbc to elaborate on this, he replied: " This is just a kind of worst-case scenario, kind of A Nightmare scenario.
" You can imagine, for example, some bad actor like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin decided to give robots The Ability to create their own sub-goals. "
The Scientist warned that this eventually might " create sub-goals like 'I need to get more power'".
Dr Hinton also said there were several other reasons to quit his job.
" One is, I'm 75. So it's time To Retire . Another was, I actually want to say some Good Things about Google. And they're more credible if I don't work for Google. "
He stressed that he did not want to criticise Google and that the tech giant had been " very responsible".
