Godfather of AI WARNS: "It's Too Late To Stop This"

Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist known as the Godfather of AI, reveals that he estimates a 10 to 20% probability that artificial intelligence will wipe out humanity, and explains why nobody on earth knows how to prevent it. He describes how he spent 50 years building the neural network approach to AI that now powers every major system in the world, and why he was slow to recognise that the technology he created could eventually become smarter than the species that built it.

He explains why AI will be far more creative than humans because it compresses information by seeing analogies between things that no person has ever connected. He demonstrates this by asking GPT-4 why a compost heap is like an atom bomb, a question no human could answer, and the AI immediately identified that both are chain reactions operating at different scales. He argues that this ability to see hidden connections across all of human knowledge will make AI more creative, not less, than any human who has ever lived.
