He is one of the great pioneers of artificial intelligence (AI), but Geoffrey Hinton now disowns what he prides himself on being the most popular technology of the moment.

The British researcher has disassociated himself from Google to warn of the dangers of the technology to which he has dedicated much of his professional career.

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Geoffrey Hinton, nicknamed the “godfather” of AI, confessed that he regrets having devoted himself to researching the technology . “I console myself with the usual excuse: if it hadn’t been me, someone else would have done it ,” says Hinton, 75.

Hinton, who was previously Google's vice president of engineering, admits that "it's hard to see how you can prevent bad actors from using AI for bad things."

is happening at an excessively fast pace . “Look at what it was like five years ago and what it is like now,” he says. “Take the difference and propagate it forward. That’s scary,” he adds.

Hinton believes AI is evolving too quickly
Hinton, who was awarded the Princess of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research last year philippines number screening along with three other researchers for his work in the field of AI, fears that the Internet will end up infested with fake texts, photos and videos and that the border between the real and the unreal will become blurred.

The researcher also believes that AI could replace many workers and ultimately become a serious threat to humanity.

“Some people believed in the idea that these things could actually become smarter than people,” he admits. “But most people thought it was a long way off. I myself thought it was a long way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years away or even more. Obviously, I don’t think that anymore ,” he stresses.

Hinton advocates halting the development of AI to determine whether or not humanity is capable of taming this technology. About a month ago, more than a thousand top-level businessmen and experts also signed an open letter requesting a moratorium on the development of AI.

That letter specifically called for a pause of “at least six months in the development and testing of AI systems more powerful than GPT4 ,” the latest version of the language model lurking within the bowels of ChatGPT.

Following the impact of his interview with The New York Times, Hinton wanted to clarify via Twitter that he is not leaving Google to be able to criticize the Mountain View company but to be able to speak openly about the dangers of AI without this acting to the detriment of a company that, according to him, "has acted very responsibly."
