Geoffrey Hinton, an artificial intelligence pioneer, has quit his job at Google, where he worked for over a decade, to speak out freely about the risks of AI.
Hinton believes that the new AI systems could be as important as the introduction of the web browser in the early 1990s, but they also pose profound risks to society and humanity.
Many industry insiders fear that they are releasing something dangerous into the wild, as generative AI can already be a tool for misinformation and could be a risk to jobs and humanity in the future.
