Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “Godfather of AI,” has warned that AI systems may be more intelligent than we know and could potentially take over. Hinton believes that AI will do enormous good, but is concerned about the potential for machines to become more intelligent than humans. He discussed his journey to developing AI, which began with a failed attempt to simulate a neural network on a computer in the 1970s. Despite the failure, his long pursuit led to the development of an artificial version of the human mind.
