Geoffrey Hinton, known as one of the pioneers in artificial intelligence, is raising a significant concern about the threat posed by ChatGPT. Hinton explains how AI models like GPT-4 are trained to predict users’ intentions, and although these models lack sentience, they understand the meanings of words and the ideas shared with them, enabling them to build upon that knowledge.
Hinton asserts that the intelligence displayed by AI systems like GPT-4 exceeds their artificial origins, making them more powerful and potentially more threatening to humanity. Beyond basic concerns about AI’s impact on job displacement, Hinton and others worry about its broader implications. He suggests that smart young people should consider whether it is possible to prevent AI from ever wanting to take over. While it may be easy to dismiss these concerns, it might be wise to pay attention when experts in the field express concerns. Although, the AI revolution and its early financial returns is unlikely to be halted by hypothetical existential threats shared by pioneers like Hinton.
