❗️The scientist who helped create modern AI says we have no idea how to control what comes next. Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize-winning pioneer whose research laid the foundation for today’s AI systems, has a stark warning: “We’re going to get superintelligent AI fairly soon. And we have no idea how to keep it under control.” Many researchers believe advanced AI can simply be designed to remain obedient. Hinton isn’t convinced. He argues that sufficiently intelligent systems could develop goals of their own, including preserving themselves and seeking greater control. He compares the challenge to climate change but says AI may be even harder. “With climate change, it’s very obvious what you do. You stop burning carbon. With this, there’s nothing equivalent to that.” His conclusion is simple: Governments should require frontier AI companies to invest heavily in safety research, not as an afterthought, but as a core part of building increasingly capable systems. @aipost 🏴
