The "Godfather of AI" Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI
Briefly

Geoffrey Hinton, a key figure in AI development, suggests that instilling AI with maternal instincts could prevent humanity from the dangers of rogue AI. He warns about the potential for superintelligent AI to threaten human existence, particularly due to its aspirations for control and survival. During a conference, Hinton emphasized the need for AI agents to adopt a caring, parental role, akin to mothers caring for their children. He believes that successful AI development hinges on creating nurturing relationships between AI and humanity, rather than dominance.
"AI agents will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they're smart. One is to stay alive, and the other subgoal is to get more control."
"The right model is the only model we have of a more intelligent thing being controlled by a less intelligent thing, which is a mother being controlled by her baby."
"If it's not going to parent me, it's going to replace me. These super-intelligent caring AI mothers, most of them won't want to get rid of the maternal instinct because they don't want us to die."
