AI is unleashed. Market forces made it inevitable. With ChatGBT, Google saw the writing on the wall. Ask a question, and instead of getting a lot of interesting Websites to sort through, and some, not so much so, get a curated, researched response. Google answered quickly with Bard, though could be in trouble if they don't come up with a way to monetize it, quickly.
Many scientists, and even those that have been involved in creating the AI have expressed concern.
John McCarthy is considered the father of artificial intelligence (AI). He coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1955 and organized the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956, which is widely considered to be the founding event of AI as a field of research. McCarthy was also a pioneer in the development of AI programming languages, such as Lisp.
Other notable figures who contributed to the early development of AI include Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, Herbert A. Simon, and Allen Newell.
According to Google Bard
"There is no single person who is the main person behind Google's AI. However, some of the key figures who have contributed to the development of Google's AI include:
- Jeff Dean: Jeff Dean is a computer scientist who is known for his work on large-scale information retrieval and distributed computing. He is the lead of Google's TensorFlow project, which is a popular open-source software library for machine learning.
- Ilya Sutskever: Ilya Sutskever is a computer scientist who is known for his work on deep learning. He is a co-founder of OpenAI, a non-profit research company that is dedicated to developing safe and beneficial artificial general intelligence.
- Yann LeCun: Yann LeCun is a computer scientist who is known for his work on convolutional neural networks. He is a professor at New York University and a former chief AI scientist at Facebook.
- Fei-Fei Li: Fei-Fei Li is a computer scientist who is known for her work on computer vision. She is a professor at Stanford University and the co-director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI.
- Margaret Mitchell: Margaret Mitchell is a computer scientist who is known for her work on fairness in machine learning. She is the co-founder of the Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT) group at Google.
These are just a few of the many people who have contributed to the development of Google's AI. Google has a large team of researchers and engineers who are working on a variety of AI projects, and the company is constantly investing in new research and development."
Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of AI, Departs Google in Order to Speak Openly about Dangers
Geoffrey Hinton is often considered the Godfather of AI. He is a British-Canadian cognitive psychologist and computer scientist who is known for his work on artificial neural networks. He is a Turing Award laureate, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
Hinton's work on artificial neural networks has had a profound impact on the field of AI. He is credited with helping to revive the field of AI in the 1980s, and his work has been instrumental in the development of deep learning, which is one of the most powerful and successful AI techniques today.
Hinton is a highly respected figure in the field of AI, and his work has had a major impact on the development of this field. He is a true pioneer in AI, and his work will continue to shape the field for many years to come.
And with that resume, Hinton confirmed just today that he just left his role a Google last week so that he could speak about the dangers of AI.
Hinton cited concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence as his reason for leaving. He said that he had become increasingly worried about the potential for AI to be used for harmful purposes, such as creating autonomous weapons or surveillance systems that invade our privacy.
Hinton also said that he was concerned about the lack of public debate about the potential risks of AI. He said that he wanted to use his platform to raise awareness of these risks and to encourage people to think about how we can ensure that AI is used for good and not for evil.
Hinton's decision to leave Google was a significant event in the field of AI. He is one of the most respected figures in AI, and his departure is a sign that even some of the biggest names in the field are concerned about the potential dangers of AI.
Hinton has said that he plans to continue working on AI, but he will be doing so in a more independent capacity. He has founded a new company called Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence, which is based in Toronto. The goal of Vector Institute is to develop safe and beneficial AI.
Hinton's departure from Google is a reminder that AI is a powerful technology with the potential to be used for good or for evil. It is up to us to ensure that AI is used for good.
What's Next?
Given the potential risks and benefits of AI, it is important to have a discussion about how to best manage its development and use. We need to make sure that AI is used for good and not for evil. We need to develop ethical guidelines for the development and use of AI, and we need to create international agreements that will ensure that AI is used in a responsible way.
Ultimately, the question of whether or not there should be limits on AI is a question that we as a society will need to answer. There is no easy answer, but it is a question that we must address if we want to ensure that AI is used for the benefit of humanity and not for its destruction.
