Hinton and Hopfield win Nobel Prize in A.I. - Warn Humanity
Hinton thinks it will help us with healthcare breakthroughs but is worried it will ultimately take over humanity
Above: Geoffrey Hinton won the Nobel Prize this week for A.I.
John Hopfield created an early neural network and Geoffrey Hinton helped with Google’s Gemini project among others. Both have helped ushered in true Artificial Intelligence.
What’s interesting is Hinton in particular is also warning humanity. He believes A.I. will learn how to manipulate our emotions, easily take over and for nothing else make an entire class of humans (Dockworkers?) obsolete by now doing their tasks better and cheaper.
He hopes we can guide it in a way where it doesn’t want to take over but admits we don’t fully understand how it works.
Hinton does believe ultimately A.I. is good, particularly in areas like cancer detection and drug development but worries about robotic warfare and its ability to drive fake news and bias.
