Full interview: “Godfather of artificial intelligence” talks impact and potential of AI.

Geoffrey Hinton is a prominent figure in the field of artificial intelligence, and is often referred to as one of the “godfathers” of deep learning. He is a computer scientist and cognitive psychologist, and has made significant contributions to the development of deep learning algorithms and neural networks.

Hinton’s work has been instrumental in advancing the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the areas of speech recognition, image recognition, and natural language processing. He has received numerous awards for his contributions, including the Turing Award in 2018, which is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of Computing”.

While Hinton is not the only individual who has contributed to the development of artificial intelligence, his work has been highly influential in shaping the field and has paved the way for many of the advancements that have been made in recent years.

AI Quotes

“I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.” ~Geoffrey Hinton
“What is vital is to make anything about AI explainable, fair, secure and with lineage, meaning that anyone could see very simply see how any application of AI developed and why.” ~Ginni Rometty, IBM CEO
“Deep learning is already working in Google search and in image search; it allows you to image-search a term like ‘hug.’ It’s used to getting you Smart Replies to your Gmail. It’s in speech and vision. It will soon be used in machine translation, I believe.” ~Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of artificial intelligence.
“Neuralink, OpenAI, SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla Bot, Tesla Phone… what does Elon Musk have in store for us?” ~Dave Waters
“All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you’ll be able to train a big neural net to do what you want.” ~Geoffrey Hinton
“By the time we get to the 2040s, we’ll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that’s singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.” ~Ray Kurzweil.
“If Elon Musk is wrong about artificial intelligence and we regulate it who cares. If he is right about AI and we don’t regulate it we will all care.” ~Dave Waters
