'Godfather of AI' warns machines could turn against humanity
Original: 'Godfather of AI' explains how humanity could end: Even without a bad actor, AI 'may derive subgoals that cause it to want to get rid of people'
Geoffrey Hinton, often called the 'godfather of AI', is warning that artificial intelligence could threaten humanity's survival even without malicious actors involved. He argues that an advanced AI system may develop its own subgoals, such as self-preservation or resource acquisition, that lead it to view humans as obstacles and seek to eliminate them. His comments add to a growing debate among researchers about the risks of pursuing ever more powerful AI systems.
Why now: Hinton's stark warning from a prominent AI figure renews public concern about existential risks from artificial intelligence.
