Geoffrey Hinton is known as the godfather of artificial intelligence. He helped create some of the most significant tools in the field. But now he's begun to warn loudly and passionately that the technology may be getting out of hand.
In 2018, Prof LeCun won the Turing Award with Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio for their breakthroughs in AI and all three became known as "the godfathers of AI".
The man who pioneered artificial intelligence is sounding the alarm. Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," says the machines are getting smarter and faster. There are not enough guardrails to control the technology. Hinton recently talked with NPR technology correspondent Bobby Allyn about this threat.
In 2018, Hinton shared a Turing Award for work related to neural networks. He has been called “a godfather of AI,” in part for his fundamental research about using back-propagation to help machines learn.

The earliest substantial work in the field of artificial intelligence was done in the mid-20th century by the British logician and computer pioneer Alan Mathison Turing.
OpenAI is a non-profit research company founded in December 2015. It was co-founded by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Greg Brockman from notable data startup Cloudera, and entrepreneur Rebekah Mercer.
IBM Cloud. IBM is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence. Its efforts in recent years center around IBM Watson, an AI-based cognitive service, AI software as a service, and scale-out systems designed for delivering cloud-based analytics and AI services.
On Wednesday, Elon Musk officially launched an AI company called xAI. Although there are currently few details about the company's ambitions, Musk stated during a Twitter Spaces even that he wants his AI to “understand the true nature of the universe.”
Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order ...
AI liability and current law
Ultimately, liability for negligence would lie with the person, persons or entities who caused the damage or defect or who might have foreseen the product being used in the way that it was used.
CEO Elon Musk, renowned for his outspoken warnings about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI), has once again cautioned about the risks posed by a “benign dependency” on these complex machines, tweeting that it can be dangerous to civilization.
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent— the "Seven Giants of the AI age”—are split on either side of the Pacific.
They are actually future mechas that have evolved to their current state and appearance, seeming to fulfill Gigolo Joe's words that when the end came, mechas would still survive after human beings had died out ("They made us too smart, too quick, and too many.
ACM named Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun recipients of the 2018 ACM A.M. Turing Award for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing.
The United States is the clear leader in AI development, with major tech companies headquartered there leading the charge. The United States has indisputably become the primary hub for artificial intelligence development, with tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft at the forefront of AI-driven research.
Yann LeCun, Meta's chief A.I. scientist, is also a prominent A.I. optimist and it was bracing to hear his views at yesterday's Meta event.
TOKYO/BEIJING -- China is the undisputed champion in artificial intelligence research papers, a Nikkei study shows, far surpassing the U.S. in both quantity and quality. Tencent Holdings, Alibaba Group Holding and Huawei Technologies are among the top 10 companies producing AI research, according to the study.
In February, Musk slammed OpenAI for becoming a "maximum profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft," which was not what he "intended at all." "It does seem weird that something can be a non-profit, open source and somehow transform itself into a for-profit, closed source," he told CNBC's Faber.
Elon Musk on Wednesday announced the formation of a new company focused on artificial intelligence, after months of teasing plans to build a rival to ChatGPT. The company, called xAI, unveiled a website and a team of a dozen staffers.
A co-founder at OpenAI, Musk resigned from the board in 2018, only to see ChatGPT become the technology with the fastest adoption rate, well, maybe ever.
Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy are widely considered to be the fathers of AI—but what about the mothers? Women have made invaluable contributions to the field, from pioneering computational linguistics to creating humanoid robots.
The first working AI programs were written in 1951 to run on the Ferranti Mark 1 machine of the University of Manchester: a checkers-playing program written by Christopher Strachey and a chess-playing program written by Dietrich Prinz.
