Google computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, who has made significant contributions to the development of artificial intelligence, has left the technology giant to warn the world of the “existential risk” posed by AI systems to humans.
, he said he does not believe that AI systems are yet as intelligent as humans. “But I think they soon may be,” he said. Hinton cited that risk in explaining his resignation from Google on Monday after 10 years at the tech giant. He said he wants to be able to talk freely about the risks posed by AI — but emphasized his belief that the company “has acted very responsibly.”
“I’ve come to the conclusion that the kind of intelligence we’re developing is very different from the intelligence we have,” he told the British broadcaster.“The big difference is that with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights, the same model of the world,” Hinton said. “All these copies can learn separately but share their knowledge instantly. So it’s as if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person learned something, everybody automatically knew it.
In particular, he warned of the potential for AI technology to be manipulated by malevolent actors — such as authoritarian leaders — to use AI for harm. If a system attained the ability to create its own “sub-goals,” for example, Hinton said, it might independently decide to start pursuing power for itself. This outcome would be “a nightmare scenario,” he said.
He also said that AI advances in text could lead to “very effective spambots,” which could allow “authoritarian leaders to manipulate their electorates.”
