WHY are we doing this to ourselves? AI is self-programming on its OWN. Even teaching itself different languages.

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” is leaving his role at Google and plans to warn of the risks of the technology he’s long promoted.

Even if you only watch this a little over halfway through, you're going to be very shocked. Everyone needs to see this, because it affects our future dramatically. I could not believe what I learned from this documentary on 60 Minutes. Please see.

I have replied about this very subject myself. Yet there is more to this issue, even by Geoffrey Hinton, than most let on.

It's not a clear issue, Hinton said so himself a few times.

Geoffrey Hinton problem is more to do with the direction that google has taken rather than the whole question of AI.

The problem is business practices of ALL corporations. That must take priority over anything.

Google wants IMMEDIATE profit and to hades with any resulting problems. That is why Geoffrey Hinton left Google!

What we need to do is set up some kind of governing bounds for all AI!

AI is important. Yet not at the sake of the whole world.

@LadyGrace this is how we can regulate AI.

This would be so much easier to explain if you ever read any sci-fi by Isaac Asimov. He was a mathematician BTW.

Asimov came up with the idea of robots to begin with. He was the precursor to even Geoffrey Hinton.

His concept was the three laws of robotics, which were very much like AIs. Just a bit more advanced than today.

What today's AI need is such a moral code yet far more than just three laws.

This is how it can be done. Sort of a "positronic" type of brain that basically shut off the AI when certain things happen.

@DeWayfarer I read Isaac Asimov in high school and found him very interesting. I also read Huxley's Brave New World. What's happening reminds me of this.

@LadyGrace read his later books about Daniel Olivia! They were written in the 1980's I believe, when he was still alive. They take place after pebbles in the sky I believe.

Elon Musk also publicly warns against AI. He wasn't specific, but he did seem genuinely concerned.
You know those capsha(sp?) measures they have that's supposed to keep ai bots out? They usually tell you to pick all the squares that have crosswalks or traffic signals, etc. ..well ai has found a way around them by using one of those services that do minor tasks for people online.

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir. I haven't seen the video yet, but i will shortly..

@LadyGrace you are totally right there!

@LadyGrace how did i get on this side? I really don't care about the man that much nor where his money comes from. All I'm saying is that he warned against AI, which is the same thing you do with this post. You dont have to tell me that a trillionaire chases money. Its already implied. That was my point about being more worried about AI when a money chaser who's very publicly warned against it is now investing in it without changing his point of view on the matter.

As far as him getting richer off of other people's inventions. Isn't that the American way? Has he actually stolen anybody's inventions? I bet those inventors made a lot of money too; money that they may have never made had it not been for him creating places for those inventors to manifest their creations.

@Jayciedubb I don't have any disagreement about what you said. I don't like the man either.
