Geoffrey Hion, the godfather of artificial ielligence, recely, in an ierview with BBC Radio 4; He stated: “There is a 10-20% probability that artificial ielligence will lead to the extinction of humans in the next 3 decades.” It should be noted that Hion previously said that there is a 10% chance that this technology will destroy humanity.
Geoffrey Hion is a 77-year-old British computer scieist who received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics; He urged governmes to impose stricter regulations on artificial ielligence companies.
Hion believes that humans have never encouered creatures smarter than themselves, and that is why they are in danger of extinction. Jeffrey Hion said in this ierview: “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.
Hion says humans will be like toddlers compared to powerful AI systems. “Imagine yourself and a three-year-old child,” he told the host. We will become three-year-old children.”
As he says, artificial ielligence has developed much faster than he expected, and if it coinues to grow and develop at this rate, in the coming years, the ielligence of humans compared to artificial ielligence will be equivale to the ielligence 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.”
He also provides a solution to his prediction; The only thing that can force large companies to do more safety research is governme regulation. He previously said that the day artificial ielligence threatens human life, couries will unite against this technology.
