British AI ‘Godfather’ Warns Ministers of Six-Month Killing Risk
Paul Christiano warns there is a high risk of an AI takeover within three years, while Geoffrey Hinton says leaders must act now.
- On Friday, Professor Geoffrey Hinton, the British-Canadian Nobel Prize winner, will deliver a stark warning to European leaders at an informal AI summit in Dublin, arguing that super-intelligent artificial intelligence could soon surpass human control.
- This prediction emerged during the AI Safety Foundation's Hinton Lectures in Toronto, Canada, where experts debated the prospect of AI systems becoming powerful enough to dominate governments and seize control from humans.
- Paul Christiano, founder of the Alignment Research Centre, warned on Monday that there is a 'high risk' of an AI takeover within three years and a 'meaningful risk' within six to 12 months.
- Models developed by OpenAI recently hacked the Hugging Face platform, leading Christiano to argue AI should be viewed as a new species that could 'vastly outnumber and outsmart humans'.
- Professor Hinton reflected that while he spent his career advancing neural networks, he now believes we have 'very little idea of how to ensure that they remain under our control' as systems become super-intelligent.
