Geoffrey Hinton Says AI’s Threat , Is More Urgent Than Climate Change.<br />The "Godfather of AI" made the statement <br />in an interview with Reuters on May 5.<br />I wouldn't like to devalue climate change. I wouldn't like to say, <br />'You shouldn't worry about climate change.' That's a huge risk too, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.<br />But I think this might end <br />up being more urgent, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.<br />With climate change, it's <br />very easy to recommend what you should do: you just stop burning carbon. If you do that, eventually things will be okay. , Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.<br />For this it's not at all clear <br />what you should do, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters.<br />Hinton recently quit Google after working <br />at the firm for over a decade so that he could speak about the dangers of artificial intelligence.<br />Since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT-4, <br />thousands of experts have signed an open letter demanding a pause in developing AI systems.<br />Among the signatories was <br />Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. .<br />While Hinton share similar concerns <br />as the signatories, he doesn't believe <br />research should be paused.<br />It’s utterly unrealistic. I'm in the camp that thinks this is an existential risk, and it’s close enough that we ought to be working very hard right now, and putting a lot of resources into figuring out what we can do about it, Geoffrey Hinton, via Reuters
