The ‘godfather of AI’ says we’re not just creating new beings — they’ll be much smarter than us, and soon
Geoffrey Hinton, often called the 'godfather of AI,' believes that artificial intelligence is rapidly advancing and will soon surpass human intelligence. He highlighted an AI's recent ability to prove a complex mathematical theorem, demonstrating AI's potential for self-improvement without vast new datasets. Hinton also expressed concerns that the capitalist system will exacerbate AI's impact, leading to widespread unemployment as corporations prioritize profit by replacing human workers with AI. AI
IMPACT AI is predicted to rapidly surpass human intelligence, potentially leading to significant societal shifts including mass unemployment due to economic systems prioritizing profit over labor.
