Could AI have a goal to destroy us?

Nobel prize winner Geoffrey Hinton

Geoffrey Hinton

spoke with Brendan O’Connor yesterday. It was riveting radio. Hinton won the Nobel Prize for his work on machine learning, which were the foundations for modern Artifical Intelligence today. 

He left Google so that he could talk about his safety concerns surrounding AI.

He explains here to Brendan why he thinks AI is now at a stage where it can think and understand.

For anyone, who is involved in attempting to talk about the Word of God this interview is intriguing.

The Catholic Church, maybe the world, should feel somewhat relieved that Pope Leo is literate in mathematics; he studied the subject at university.

If you did not hear the interview yesterday, the link is below; it is sensational, but scary too.
