AI Update: Big alert from the Godfather of AI! Said now only one thing can save us..

Former Google executive Geoffrey Hinton, who is called the Godfather of AI, says that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can also destroy humanity in the future. He believes that the people who make technology (whom he calls Tech Bros) are working in the wrong direction.

This Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist told CNN that there is a 10 to 20% chance that AI will wipe out humans. Also, he doubted that the way companies are trying to keep humans above AI will be effective. At the AI4 Industry Conference held in Las Vegas, Hinton said that this method will not work. AI will be much smarter than humans. They will have many ways to break this control.

AI can control humans.
Hinton warned that in the coming times, AI can control humans as easily as an adult can convince a 3-year-old child by giving him a toffee. To deal with this danger, he suggested a unique solution to put maternal instincts in AI models, so that this technology really cares for people even after becoming more powerful than humans.

Hinton said smart AI will soon set two goals. First, to stay alive, and second, to gain more control. He further said, it is quite likely that any agentic AI will try to stay alive.

Hinton's opinion on the danger of AI

In a conversation with CNN, he said that most AI experts believe that in the next 5 to 20 years, we will create AI that will be smarter than humans. And when this happens, they will become much smarter than we are. And there are very few examples in the world where a more smart thing has been able to control a less smart thing.

He further said that actually we have only one example, a mother is controlled by her child. This is because evolution has put maternal instincts in the mother. If we do not put something like this in these new alien-like technologies, then our story will end.
