The government has said it wants to “unleash” AI, and mainline it into the country’s veins. But, Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize winner often called the ‘Godfather of AI,’ has warned there’s a 10% to 20% chance of AI leading to our extinction within 30 years.
I think the dangers of AI are enormous, with a possible loss of millions of jobs, that could upend society. I think citizens should decide how the technology is developed, by whom, for what purposes, the safety standards, and how to regulate AI and the tech industry.
