Geoffrey Hinton, a prominent AI researcher and Nobel laureate, has expressed increased concern about the potential for AI to cause human extinction. He now estimates a 10-20% chance of such a catastrophic outcome within the next 30 years, up from his previous estimate of 10%.
Hinton emphasizes the unprecedented challenge of controlling an intelligence surpassing our own, using the analogy of a human trying to control a toddler. He notes the rapid pace of AI development, exceeding his initial expectations, and highlights the prevailing view among experts that human-level AI could be achieved within the next 20 years.
He advocates for government regulation of AI development, arguing that relying solely on the profit motives of large companies is insufficient for ensuring safety. This concern stems from the potential for "bad actors" to misuse the technology and the existential risk posed by artificial general intelligence (AGI) that could evade human control. While Hinton expresses significant concern, another leading AI figure, Yann LeCun of Meta, holds a more optimistic view, suggesting AI could ultimately benefit humanity.
