Godfather of AI

Geoffrey Hinton, one of the “Godfathers of AI” and co-winner of the 2018 Turing Award, has recently expressed regret for his AI-related work. Hinton, who spent over a decade at Google, left the company to freely speak out about the risks of AI. His ground-breaking work led to the creation of technologies such as ChatGPT and Google Bard. Hinton in an interview to New York Times expressed regrets for his AI-related work. “I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have,” he said…

Artificial intelligence could pose a “more urgent” threat to humanity than climate change, AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton told Reuters in an interview on Friday. Geoffrey Hinton, widely known as one of the “godfathers of AI”, recently announced he had quit Alphabet after a decade at the firm, saying he wanted to speak out on the risks of the technology without it affecting his former employer. Hinton’s work is considered essential to the development of contemporary AI systems. In 1986, he co-authored the seminal paper…

Computer scientists who helped build the foundations of today's artificial intelligence technology are warning of its dangers, but that doesn't mean they agree on what those dangers are or how to prevent them.Humanity's survival is threatened when "smart things can outsmart us,” so-called Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton said at a conference Wednesday at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It may keep us around for a while to keep the power stations running,” Hinton said. “But after that, maybe not.” After…

A leading legal research database company is making an early push to introduce generative artificial intelligence to tasks typically performed by paralegals or lawyers.LexisNexis on Thursday announced the release of Lexis AI, a platform that will use artificial intelligence to tap into the company's database of documents and records to draft documents and research case law. Some large US law firms, including Baker McKenzie, Reed Smith LLP and Foley & Lardner LLP are working with the company to provide early support…

When it comes to the field of artificial intelligence, three pioneers stand above the rest. Often collectively known as the Godfathers of AI, they are Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, and Geoffrey Hinton. Hinton, in particular, is viewed as a leading figure in the field of deep learning and has published an important paper on the backpropagation algorithm for training multi-layer neural networks. However, in a shocking move, he recently quit his job at Google so he could speak more freely about the risks of AI. In a recent…
