You probably say, “We are used to such statements.” Unfortunately, you will see more than you expected in this content. Because even though it’s everywhere on social media, “Artificial intelligence will take our jobs.” and “Artificial intelligence will be the end of us.” We are faced with an issue that is beyond discussion.
The reason we say this is that people talking about worrying and frightening statements are no longer conspiracy theorists on social media. In the past months, we have seen how mysterious this issue is, when Geoffrey Hinton, whom we can recognize as the person at the core of the leading artificial intelligence models, spoke to the 60 Minutes program.
Who is Geoffrey Hinton and what exactly did he say?
We can say that the foundations of ChatGPT, which we use today, were laid thanks to Hinton, one of the pioneers of the concept of deep learning. Another thing we can say without going into too much biography is that Hinton is someone who has a huge share in bringing today’s productive artificial intelligence tools to this day.
Our academician, who previously worked at Google, recently drew attention to the very rapid and uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence. Look, the person who said this is one of the most responsible for the emergence of these models. Of course, we do not state this to blame. We emphasize that even the people who develop the models do not know exactly how they grow.
“We don’t know exactly how models like GPT work.”
In his interview, Hinton said that they only established the learning algorithm, but they were not exactly sure what the artificial intelligence that progressed from this algorithm did. Moreover, Hinton likened this to the principles of evolution. He goes on to say that this algorithm produces complex neural networks when interacting with data, and that these networks are quite functional, like the ones we have now. But as he stated, we have no idea how they do this.
When one of the important names who laid the foundations of everything speaks like this, concerns about the field in question begin to emerge. Because Geoffrey Hinton, who is described as the “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence”, also complains about the rapid and uncontrolled growth of this field. In addition to this issue, he constantly warns that artificial intelligence will be successful in manipulating people.
We have heard similar statements from different important names.
Ilya Sutskever, one of the most controversial names of recent days and the co-founder of OpenAI, previously stated that machines will exceed the intelligence level of humans and that we should be prepared for this. The strangest thing that came out of Ilya’s mouth, who also said that artificial intelligence machines can see things that we cannot see, was the claim that people can merge with artificial intelligence.
Stating that studies are being carried out on the controlled growth of artificial intelligence, Ilya stated that unfortunately not everyone is interested in this issue and it is not brought to the agenda enough. He also said he could be one of the first humans to become semi-AI at some point. But whatever his vision, Ilya realizes that unleashing artificial intelligence would be dangerous.
The statements made by these 2 important names indicate that the situation is “Artificial intelligence will take our jobs.” It shows that he is far beyond his thoughts.
Even though we have largely passed this stage and realized that we will not be left behind as long as we adapt to developments, what will happen next concerns all humanity.
For example, the manipulation studies mentioned by Hinton can greatly affect important elections held around the world. Or, while artificial intelligence is solving problems, if it is left uncontrolled, it may cause the problem in question to become more frequent.
Unfortunately, the countries that work for this are not very conscious and focus only on ‘restriction’. When we make an inference based on these explanations, it is not difficult to see that restrictions will not solve a problem. What are your thoughts on this subject?
Don’t forget to take a look at the content below so that you can see examples of the situation and become more familiar with artificial intelligence.
