AI pioneer leaves Google to warn of the technology’s dangers
Geoffrey Hinton – the man who is known as the ‘Godfather AI’ – confirmed on Monday that he had left his position at Google to speak about the \”dangers of the technology\” he helped develop.
Hinton’s groundbreaking work on neural networks has influenced artificial intelligence systems that power many of today’s technologies. He spent a decade working part-time on Google’s AI efforts. However, he is now concerned about the technology.
Hinton said to the New York Times that he had a normal excuse for his actions: \”If I hadn’t done this, someone else would have,\” which was the first publication of the news.
