What's happening?

Dr Geoffrey Hinton is known as the godfather of Artificial IntelligenceArtificial intelligence, or "AI," is the ability for a computer to think and learn. With AI, computers can perform tasks that are typically done by people, including processing language, problem-solving, and learning.. His research led to the creation of modern AI chatbots, such as ChatGPTAn Artificial Intelligence chatbot released in November 2022. .

Now, Hinton has given up his job at Google. He says he regrets the work he spent his life on.

Hinton warns that AI chatbots like ChatGPT will soon be more intelligent than humans. This is because artificial intelligence is quite different from human intelligence.

One AI can learn at the same speed as around 10,000 people.

Right now, this is not too much of a problem, because while AI knows a lot, it cannot think like humans do. But this could all change soon.

Hinton fears that a "bad actor", like Russia's leader Vladimir PutinRussia's ruler since 2000. He is a strong opponent of the West., could give AI the ability to think like humans.

And AI is taking over many jobs that were once done by humans. The tech company IBM says it will stop hiring people for 7,800 jobs - because they can all be done by AI. Some fear that up to 300 million people could lose their jobs to AI.

Yes! AI is getting better every day. We cannot keep up. The world will never be the same. This is a big problem.

No! AI has its dangers, but we can control it. There are many ways we can use AI to help us. And for now, humans are still much better at many things.
