Computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton says it is “not inconceivable” that AI may develop to the point where it poses a threat to humanity.
The computer scientist sat down with CBS News this week about his predictions for the advancement of AI. He compared the invention of AI to electricity or the wheel.
“Until quite recently, I thought it was going to be like 20 to 50 years before we have general purpose AI. And now I think it may be 20 years or less,” Hinton predicted. Asked specifically the chances of AI “wiping out humanity,” Hinton said, “I thinkArtificial general intelligence refers to the potential ability for an intelligence agent to learn any mental task that a human can do. It has not been developed yet, and computer scientists are still figuring out if it is possible.
But the computer scientist warned that many of the most serious consequences of artificial intelligence won’t come to fruition in the near future.
