A prominent researcher in artificial intelligence, known as the 'Godfather of AI' has quit his job at Google, and has issued a chilling warning on the risks the burgeoning technology poses to society.
Dr Geoffrey Hinton is widely credited with laying the groundwork which would lead to the creation of increasingly popular 'chatbots' using artificial intelligence (AI), such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and others. With their growing popularity, Dr Hinton is just one of a number of experts speaking out about the harm AI could cause.
The 75-year-old said he left Google so he could "talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google." His statement comes following an article in the New York Times, in which he said writer Cade Metz "implies" Dr Hinton left so he "could criticise Google".
