Summary
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," has left his role at Google to warn the world about the potential threat of AI, which he believes is coming sooner than he previously thought. Hinton cites the near-term risks of AI taking jobs and the proliferation of fake photos, videos, and text that appear real to the average person. He also warns that digital intelligence can acquire more knowledge than any individual biological agent, which poses a significant risk. Hinton's departure is a high-profile loss for Google Brain, the team behind much of the company's work in AI.
