Artificial Intelligence Warning from Nobel Laureate Scientist
Speaking at the US Congress, Geoffrey Hinton emphasized that there may be less than a year left to control artificial intelligence.
Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, made critical warnings in his briefing to US Congress members, stating that urgent safety measures must be taken so that control over the systems is not completely lost.
Congressional Briefing
Upon the invitation of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, comprehensive information about artificial intelligence technologies was conveyed to US Congress members.
During the meeting, the future of artificial intelligence and potential risks were discussed in detail by lawmakers.
Superintelligence Predictions
It was stated that timelines for reaching superintelligence, which were previously projected to be decades away, have now dropped to a much shorter period.
It was conveyed that many researchers indicate this change could happen in just a few years, or perhaps even within a year.
Self-Improvement
It was noted that artificial intelligence has now reached a stage where it can design better artificial intelligence systems and improve itself.
It was expressed that if necessary steps are not taken, this process could spin out of control and that there is a need to slow down.
Emphasis on Control
House Representative Ted Lieu stated that the situation resembles science fiction scenarios and emphasized that artificial intelligence must definitely be controlled by humans.
Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, stated that the concern over this technology becoming uncontrollable for the future of humanity created a sense of urgency among members of Congress.
