CTOnews.com, May 3 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-- Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence and known as the "godfather of AI", recently announced that he is leaving Google, where he has worked for a decade, because of his growing concern about the development of artificial intelligence technology. In an interview with CNN's Jack Tapper (Jake Tapper) today, he said he thinks artificial intelligence is becoming smarter than humans, and he wants to "whistle" to remind people that they should seriously consider how to prevent artificial intelligence from controlling humans.

"I'm just a scientist who suddenly realizes that these things are becoming smarter than us," Hinton said. "I want to blow the whistle to some extent, saying that we should seriously worry about how to stop these things from controlling us."

Hinton is a pioneer in neural network technology, and his research has laid the foundation for the artificial intelligence systems used in many products today. CTOnews.com has previously reported that he first revealed his departure in an interview with the New York Times on Monday and expressed his concern about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence technology. He said he was worried that artificial intelligence would lead to mass unemployment and create a world in which many people "don't know what's real." He also pointed out that the progress of artificial intelligence technology is far faster than he and others expected.

"if it becomes much smarter than us, it will be very good at manipulation because it is learned from us, and there are few examples to prove that a smarter thing is controlled by a more stupid thing," Hinton told Tapper on Tuesday. "it knows how to program, so it will figure out ways to circumvent our restrictions on it. It will figure out ways to manipulate people to do what it wants."

Hinton is not the only technology leader who has expressed concern about artificial intelligence. In March, some community members jointly issued a letter calling on artificial intelligence laboratories to suspend training on the most powerful artificial intelligence systems for at least six months. The reason is that it is "a profound risk to society and human beings."

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who also signed the letter, reiterated his concerns about artificial intelligence spreading false information on CNN Morning on Tuesday. "it will be easier for those who want to deceive you." "We haven't made any changes in this area-we just assume that our existing laws will solve the problem," Wozniak told CNN. Wozniak also said there might be a need for "some kind" of regulation.

Hinton said he did not sign the petition. "I don't think we can stop this progress," he said. "I didn't sign a petition saying we should stop studying artificial intelligence, because if the Americans stop doing research, the Chinese won't." But he admitted that he did not have a clear solution. "I don't know if we can solve this problem. I believe we should try to think about the solution to the problem. I don't have a solution yet."
