Geoffrey Hinton, a leading figure in artificial intelligence, warns that there is a 10-20% chance of AI leading to human extinction within the next 30 years. He cites the rapid pace of AI development as a major concern, likening the potential dangers to a three-year-old controlling a much more intelligent being.
Geoffrey Hinton says there is 10% to 20% chance AI will lead to human extinction in three decades, as change moves fasthas shortened the odds of AI wiping out humanity over the next three decades, warning the pace of change in the technology is “much faster” than expected., said there was a “10% to 20%” chance that AI would lead to human extinction within the next three decades.
He added: “And how many examples do you know of a more intelligent thing being controlled by a less intelligent thing? There are very few examples. There’s a mother and baby. Evolution put a lot of work into allowing the baby to control the mother, but that’s about the only example I know of.” AI can be loosely defined as computer systems performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.
