![]() ![]() In an interview with CBS in March, Hinton said he believes that A.I. Hinton won the 2018 Turing Award-the equivalent of a Nobel Prize in the computing world-with his two other colleagues (one of whom was Bengio) for their neural network research, which has been key to the creation of technologies including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard chatbot.Īs one of the key thinkers in A.I., Hinton sees the current moment as “pivotal” and ripe with opportunity. ![]() His neural network research was the breakthrough concept behind a company he built with two of his students called DNNresearch, which Google ultimately bought in 2013. That’s where he first started his work on neural networks, mathematical models that roughly mimic the workings of the human brain and are capable of analyzing vast amounts of data. Hinton began his career as a graduate student at the University of Edinburgh in 1972. Hinton did not immediately return Fortune’s request for comment. We’re continually learning to understand emerging risks while also innovating boldly.” principles, we remain committed to a responsible approach to A.I. “As one of the first companies to publish A.I. “Geoff has made foundational breakthroughs in A.I., and we appreciate his decade of contributions at Google,” Jeff Dean, the company’s chief scientist, told Fortune in a statement. Hinton didn’t sign the letter, although he believes that companies should think before scaling A.I. In a March letter, some of the top names in the tech industry, including Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak and computer scientist Yoshua Bengio signed a letter asking for a ban on the development of advanced A.I. products, there are also growing calls for slowing the pace of new developments and regulating the space that has expanded rapidly in recent months. ![]() Fake images of Pope Francis in a white puffer jacket made the rounds online a few weeks ago, and deepfake visuals showing China invading Taiwan and banks failing under President Joe Biden if he is reelected were published by the Republican National Committee last week.Īs companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft work on upgrading their A.I. text- and image-generation tools could lead to more fake or fraudulent content being created, and how the average person would “not be able to know what is true anymore.”Ĭoncerns surrounding the improper use of A.I. But he left the company in May so that he can speak freely about “the dangers of A.I.”Īccording to Hinton, one of his main concerns is how easy access to A.I. tech should be deployed and that the tech giant has acted responsibly for its part. He told the Times Google has been a “proper steward” for how A.I. Hinton, often referred to as “the Godfather of A.I.,” spent years in academia before joining Google in 2013 when it bought his company for $44 million. “I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have.” “It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things,” Hinton told the New York Times in an interview published Monday. ![]()
