Jeffrey Hinton It is one of the pioneers of technology artificial intelligence (AI). computer world 75 years old He is best known for his work developing computational technologies for Deep learning -deep learning- which, over the years, became the bedrock of the We are witnessing a technological revolution.
But wait, why are we telling you this? because Hinton quit Google And this week, in a revealing interview with The New York Times alerted About the dangers that the technological future draws.
For a respected computer scientist, the situation seems complicated. The technological revolution of artificial intelligence – that gets half the planet excited – It can easily get out of control. “It’s hard to know how we’re going to stop bad actors from using it to do bad things.”Hinton said.
The pioneer of artificial intelligence resigns from Google and warns of the future

But the joke of this story—besides remembering the academic’s credentials—is to tell them so Quit your job at Google to Talk openly about the risks that technology poses to the future.
In an unprecedented interview with The New York Timesthe world – Who has not yet publicly engaged in a critical reference to the technology – male the The main risks related to disinformation and its effects on public life. “We will never know what is true,” said the scientist.

interview him with The New York Times It ends with an interesting comparison. Jeffrey Hinton date for Robert Oppenheimera theoretical physicist –guided by science condition development of atomic bombs. “When something is technologically interesting, you do it.”He said.
