Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of modern AI, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2024 for his work on neural networks. He’s often called the Godfather of AI for co-developing the backpropagation algorithm in the 1980s, which laid the foundation for today’s deep learning systems. Until 2023, he worked at Google, where he helped lead AI research. He left the company so he could speak freely about the risks he believes AI now poses.In his Nobel Prize speech, Hinton warned that AI is no longer just a tool for progress. He said it's already causing harm by creating echo chambers online, enabling governments to conduct mass surveillance, and helping criminals run phishing scams on a global scale.He went further, saying AI might soon be used to create new viruses or autonomous weapons that choose their own targets. But the most serious concern, according to Hinton, is that we are on track to build digital beings more intelligent than humans. He said we still have no idea if we’ll be able to control them. And if they are created by companies that prioritize short-term profits, public safety will not be the main concern.Hinton called for urgent action from governments and international institutions. These risks, he said, are no longer science fiction.What are your thoughts on this? 🤔💬🎥: @nobelprize—➡️ That's it!
