Google y OpenAI compiten por el liderazgo del sector de la inteligencia artificial.

Geoffrey Hintonwinner of the Nobel Prize in Physics last year 2024, is considered the ‘godfather’ of the artificial intelligence (AI). Extrabajador of Google And professor at the University of Toronto, Hinton has launched several notices on the near future with the current development of this technology.

In an interview with the American television network CBSHinton warns that AI will transform education and medicine and that it can solve problems such as climate change, but it is every time more concerned about their rapid development.

“The best way to understand it emotionally is that we are like someone who has An adorable tiger puppy“Hinton explains in the interview.” Unless you are completely sure you won’t want to kill yourself when you grow up, you should worry. “

The physicist estimates that there is a risk of between 10% and 20% that artificial intelligence comes to take control of humans. “People have not yet understoodhe has not understood what is coming, “says Hinton in the interview.

The expert also criticizes how companies that promote these changes are facing: “If we look at what the big companies are doing right now, They are pressing to get a lower regulation of the AI. There is hardly any regulation, but they want less, “he says.

Hinton is particularly disappointed with Google, where he worked, for his decision to reverse his position on applications of Military artificial intelligence.

According to Hinton, AI companies should dedicate many more resources to security research: “As a third” Of its budgets, he says, compared to the much smaller fraction that is currently assigned.
