Professor Geoffrey Hion, the Nobel laureate and godfather of artificial ielligence, has warned again in a new ierview that artificial ielligence can destroy the human race in the next 3 decades. He previously estimated that there was a 10% chance that this technology would be catastrophic for humanity. Now he says this figure is between 10 and 20 perce.
In an ierview with BBC Radio 4, Geoffrey Hion said that there is a 10-20% chance that artificial ielligence will lead to human extinction in the next 3 decades. Previously, Hion had said that there is a 10% chance that this technology will destroy humanity. The 77-year-old British computer scieist, who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, called on governmes to impose stricter regulations on artificial ielligence companies.
Commes of the godfather of artificial ielligence about the future of mankind
In the BBC Radio 4 program, the preseer asked Geoffrey Hion if there is still a 10% chance that artificial ielligence will destroy humans; “Not really, 10 to 20 perce,” replied the AI godfather. Hion says humans have never before had to deal with things smarter than themselves.
Geoffrey Hion says, “How many examples do you know of something less iellige corolling something more iellige? “There are very few examples.” Hion himself gives the example of mother and child, where the child can corol the mother’s behavior. Of course, this happens in line with evolution. Hion says humans will be like toddlers compared to powerful AI systems. “Imagine yourself and a three-year-old child,” he told the host. (In fro of artificial ielligence) we become three-year-old children.”
Geoffrey Hion says artificial ielligence is developing “much faster” than he expected, and that in the coming years, human ielligence will be equivale to that of “three-year-old children”. Hion, whose research has coributed greatly to the developme of artificial ielligence, says that when he started working on the technology, he didn’t think it would get here so soon: “I thought we would get here in the future.”
His solution is governme oversight: “The only thing that can force big companies to do more safety research is governme regulation.” He had previously said that the day artificial ielligence threatens human life, couries will unite against this technology.
