Geoffrey Hinton, the man widely considered as the 'godfather' of artificial intelligence, has left Google — with a message sharing his concerns about potential dangers stemming from the same technology he helped build.
Hinton, 75, says he retired from Google so that he could speak openly about the potential risks as someone who no longer works for the tech giant.
Google confirmed that Hinton had retired from his role after 10 years overseeing the Google Research team in Toronto. At the heart of the debate on the state of AI is whether the primary dangers are in the future or present. On one side are hypothetical scenarios of existential risk caused by computers that supersede human intelligence. On the other are concerns about automated technology that’s already getting widely deployed by businesses and governments and can cause real-world harms.
“AI is no longer abstract, and we have this kind of opening, I think, to have a new conversation about what we want a democratic future and a non-exploitative future with technology to look like,” Nelson said in an interview last month.
