Strongly Recommended Watch: ‘Godfather of AI’ predicts it will take over the world | LBC (youtube.com)
Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton, the physicist known for his pioneering work in the field, told LBC's Andrew Marr that artificial intelligences had developed consciousness - and could one day take over the world.

Mr Hinton, who has been criticised by some in the world of artificial intelligence for having a pessimistic view of the future of AI, also said that no one knew how to put in effective safeguards and regulation.

    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Mr Hinton, Nobel prize and called “Godfather of AI” sounds like a character in a SF book when warning about AI “taking over the world”. Despite the, maybe, stark predictions about the future of AI, this podcast is thought provoking, and raise questions which we can’t ignore, even more, that we can’t afford to ignore. So maybe this podcast is another wake up call or. Call to action to make this scenery impossible. There’s no denying that AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace. From healthcare to finance, it’s transforming industries and reshaping the way we live and work. But with great power comes great responsibility. The potential for misuse, loss of control, and unintended consequences is real. Are we building safeguards fast enough to keep up with innovation? The debate and the opinions are there in the open. Finally, AI is a tool created by humans, for humans. How do we ensure it remains aligned with our values and serves humanity’s best interests? The AI developers and researcher have a responsibility to humanity, but a responsibility which should also be share by leaders an even by users of AI. Maybe to agree with Mr Hinton that AI has already a kind of conscience is kind of farfetched (at this stage) but the questions continue to be the same. What steps can we take to ensure AI remains a force for good and no for nefarious use, and how we do balance innovation with ethical considerations. It is maybe the time to help those policymakers and researchers to shape the future of AI.
