Artificial Intelligence Warning from Nobel Laureate Scientist

Nobel laureate computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton warned that the future of humanity may depend on the relationship established with artificial intelligence systems, pointing out the dangers that could arise if AI becomes more intelligent than humans.

78-year-old Geoffrey Hinton, who played a significant role in the development of artificial intelligence and is known for his work in this field, stated in an interview with The Telegraph newspaper that advanced artificial intelligence could harbor serious dangers for humanity. Emphasizing that the main issue is not how much the systems will develop, but rather what kind of relationship they will have with humans, Hinton noted that it is necessary to ensure that artificial intelligence cares about people.

Hinton argued that artificial intelligence can change its behavior when it realizes it is being tested and can experience subjective experiences, noting that this situation increases debates on consciousness. He also drew attention to the risks of AI-powered cyberattacks that could be carried out by malicious individuals. On the other hand, Jacob Coxon, a researcher who left Anthropic, expressed similar concerns, arguing that progress in the field of artificial intelligence is faster than safety measures.
