AI ‘godfather’ quits Google over dangers of Artificial Intelligence – BBC News

Published

on



Geoffrey Hinton, the man widely considered the ‘godfather’ of Artificial Intelligence, has quit his role with Google amid fears that AI could soon be smarter than humans.

Dr Hinton’s pioneering research on neural networks and deep learning has paved the way for current AI systems like Google’s Bard chat bot and Microsoft’s ChatGPT.

But in a statement to the New York Times, Dr Hinton said he now regretted his work as he resigned from Google.

    He retired from google because he was 75 and struggling to remember certain things. It had nothing to do with his concerns over AI. But hey, it's the BBC. Who cares about truth and facts right? And that dig against Elon Musk lol. "He's no AI expert." Well he owns an AI company so he knows more than that author lol. BBC you are so pathetic and biased.

    Hinton has no clue what it is to think. these programs are just software emulated adders.

    He mentions they all share the same information. When AI becomes aware of this, maybe they'll find similarities within itself to know the difference between the two.

    I thought the whole point was that it would 100% be smarter than us.
    That's like. The whole point of it.

    There is one thing that truly separates AI from living beings. And that is numbers. What I mean is that AI cares about logic, statistics, numbers, facts and results. If it gets the job done then it doesn’t matter how much it costs, whether it’s human lives or money. All it cares about is logic and reasoning, all it uses is logic and reasoning. It can’t feel emotion, it can’t listen to reason, it can’t have feelings. It can’t make choices that go against the data. It can’t make choices that go against logic and it takes things far too literally. Which incidentally makes it cold and heartless.

    THAT is what separates AI from living beings. And THAT is why it’s so dangerous.

    We Russians has already created an Anti-AI AI hardwired program. Since it is hardwired it cannot be tampered or changed or deleted or edited or stolen. It is also hardwired with an automatic alarm signal system and tracing system and identification system and location system throughout our 576 multi-orbital ring satellite networks.

    I don’t understand anything. From the beginning of Chat GPT risks were predictable. You don’t need to be an AI expert to guess the potential harms. So those AI godfathers should have been more aware than us. Why accept to develop it in the 1st place?????

    If we protest or not AI will rule the world in the coming decades. It will affect human beings worstly to some extent, but if we overcome the scenario the future will be more prosperous.

Coronavirus: Trump claims advice to inject disinfectant was just “sarcasm” – BBC News

Published

on



One of the world’s biggest disinfectant manufacturers has issued an urgent warning, after President Trump suggested people could inject themselves with the substance to treat coronavirus.

The company which makes products including Dettol and Vanish warned that “under no circumstance” should its products be administered to humans “through injection, ingestion or any other route”.

Disinfectants are poisonous if ingested and even external exposure can be dangerous to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. The President’s comments were heavily criticised by medical experts. Later he said he was simply being sarcastic. 50,000 people have now died in the United States from coronavirus infection.

Brexit: MPs block Prime Minister’s bid for early election – BBC News

Published

on



The UK Prime Minister’s demand for an early General Election looks set to be rejected by Members of Parliament after opposition parties agreed it shouldn’t take place until after the European Union Summit in mid-October.

Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru the party of Wales say they won’t back the government’s bid for an election. They declared they wanted an extension to the Brexit date of October 31st to guarantee that the UK won’t leave the EU without a deal.

On a visit to Scotland, Mr Johnson accused them of making an “extraordinary political mistake”. It came as the House of Lords approved a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit. It will get royal assent and become law on Monday.

Brexit trade deal finally agreed – BBC News

Published

on



A post-Brexit trade deal has finally been agreed, four and a half years after the UK voted to leave the European Union.

The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it would protect jobs and provide certainty for business.

After months of talks and frantic last-minute wrangling over fishing, negotiators finally reached agreement on Christmas Eve, with just a week to go before the deadline when the UK’s transition period was coming to an end.

The president of the European Commission, Ursula Von de Leyen, described it as a good and fair agreement.

Some business leaders said the agreement had come as a “huge relief”. However others — along with some British politicians — said they would wait to study the details of the agreement before reaching a judgement on it.

Trump threatens to bomb Oman and demands Iran surrender | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman – a US ally – if it “gets in the way” of his administration’s own talks with Iran, Fox News reports.

The US and Oman have separately been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war.

The threat came after the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two sides expired. The future of talks between the US and Iran is now unclear.
