Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," has expressed concern over how tech leaders handle the risks associated with AI technologies. He claimed that while most leaders are aware of these risks, they often downplay them in public. Hinton mentioned Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, as an exception who is genuinely concerned about the dangers of AI and actively seeks to implement regulation. Hassabis has previously warned about the long-term risks associated with AI systems and has advocated for an international governing body to oversee the technology.
"Many of the people in big companies, I think, are downplaying the risk publicly," Hinton said, indicating a general reluctance among tech leaders to confront concerns over AI.
Geoffrey Hinton highlighted Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, as a tech leader who truly understands and wishes to address the potential dangers of AI.
