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

Tech News:  Former Google executive Geoffrey Hinton, who is called the Godfather of AI, says that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can destroy humanity in the future. He believes that people making technology (whom he calls tech bros) are working in the wrong direction. The Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist told CNN that there is a 10 to 20% chance that AI will wipe out humans.

He also expressed doubts that the way companies are trying to keep humans above AI will be effective. At the AI4 Industry Conference 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 future, 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: maternal instincts should be instilled in AI models so that this technology can truly care 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 definitely try to stay alive.

Hinton's view on the dangers of AI

Talking to 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 us. And there are very few examples in the world where a smarter thing has been able to control a less smart thing.

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