Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of artificial intelligence, recently, in an interview with BBC Radio 4; He stated: “There is a 10-20% probability that artificial intelligence will lead to the extinction of humans in the next 3 decades.” It should be noted that Hinton previously said that there is a 10% chance that this technology will destroy humanity.
Geoffrey Hinton is a 77-year-old British computer scientist who received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics; He urged governments to impose stricter regulations on artificial intelligence companies.
Hinton believes that humans have never encountered creatures smarter than themselves, and that is why they are in danger of extinction. Jeffrey Hinton said in this interview: “How many examples do you know of something less intelligent controlling something more intelligent? “There are very few examples.” Hinton himself gives the example of mother and child, where the child can control the mother’s behavior.
Hinton 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 intelligence has developed much faster than he expected, and if it continues to grow and develop at this rate, in the coming years, the intelligence of humans compared to artificial intelligence will be equivalent to the intelligence of “three-year-old children”.
Hinton, whose research has contributed greatly to the development of artificial intelligence, 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 government regulation. He previously said that the day artificial intelligence threatens human life, countries will unite against this technology.
