AI Pioneer Warns of a Future Where Machines Rule the World

[Social Media]

 

Often referred to as a "godfather of AI," has voiced his concerns about the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, warning that the technology could one day surpass human control and take over the world. The esteemed computer scientist has dedicated much of his career to AI research, but now he fears that society may be unprepared for the consequences of creating systems that outthink and outmaneuver human intelligence.

 

"I'm kept awake at night by the fear that humans may build systems smarter than us that we don't know how to control," His statement reflects growing anxieties among AI experts and researchers who worry that as artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it could reach a point where it no longer answers to human commands.

 

Geoffrey Hinton's prediction echoes the concerns of other leading figures in AI, including Elon Musk and Yoshua Bengio, who have previously warned about the existential risks posed by uncontrolled AI development. As machine learning models grow increasingly sophisticated, some fear that AI could eventually make autonomous decisions that conflict with human interests, leading to unpredictable consequences.

 

The possibility of artificial intelligence surpassing human intelligence has long been a topic of speculation in science fiction, but with the rapid progress in AI capabilities, the idea is becoming more tangible. While AI systems are currently designed to assist humans in various industries, Bengio warns that if left unchecked, they could one day dictate the direction of global affairs.

 

The debate over AI regulation and ethical development is intensifying, with calls for stricter policies to ensure that AI remains a beneficial tool rather than a threat. As AI continues to shape the world, the question remains: will humans maintain control, or are we on the path to a future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme?

Pay no attention to Hinton, he's a raging extreme left wing commie type who believes government should control all the massed compute power.

He knows a thing or two about AI though but he's literally off his rocker - puts on a good show.

Considering the mess the world is in, I doubt if machines could make it worse.... the worry is: if machines asked "What would be greatest aid to state of the planet?" The answer would be "Eliminate humans"

Rather have a machine than certain billionaires trying to manipulating every aspect of our lives.

Exactly. Like the Kyle Reese character said in the first Terminator movie, "[the machines] decided our fate in a microsecond."

A machine owned and controlled by the same billionaires?

Musks is inventing them.

As I hunch over my smart phone I'd say it's now, AI will refine it

The 3 laws of robotics taken to the logical conclusion. 

Skynet is happy.

Well he’ll certainly claim to have done so at some point down the line.

Might not be such a bad thing.

 

Machines use logic, so leftist policies would disappear overnight.
