"The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that," he said."But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that." Today's ML tools are being deployed across various industries and affecting mainly white-collar jobs, he opined. Analysts have predicted such models will increase the productivity of employees and companies; the technology could replace jobs while creating new ones. Hinton said AI"takes away the drudge work," but that the disruption of labor"might take away more than that.
