AI and machine learningTransformers and LLMsAI safety and impactNeural networks and deep learning

Geoffrey Hinton discusses the history of neural networks, the rapid progress of large language models, and his concerns regarding AI safety and AGI.

Geoffrey Hinton is considered a godfather of artificial intelligence, having championed machine learning decades before it became mainstream. As chatbots like ChatGPT bring his work to widespread attention, we spoke to Hinton about the past, present and future of AI. CBS Saturday Morning's Brook Silva-Braga interviewed him at the Vector Institute in Toronto on March 1, 2023. #artificialintelligence #geoffreyhinton #tech Subscribe to “CBS Mornings” on YouTube: youtube.com/CBSMornings Watch CBS News: cbsn.ws/1PlLpZ7c Download the CBS News app: cbsn.ws/1Xb1WC8 Follow "CBS Mornings" on Instagram: bit.ly/3A13OqA Like "CBS Mornings" on Facebook: bit.ly/3tpOx00 Follow "CBS Mornings" on Twitter: bit.ly/38QQp8B Subscribe to our newsletter: cbsn.ws/1RqHw7T​ Try Paramount+ free: bit.ly/2OiW1kZ For video licensing inquiries, contact: licensing@veritone.com

…l. “Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early Experiments with GPT-4.” arXiv, March 27, 2023. link . or watching Sebastien Bubeck's recent talk he gave describing what GPT-4 can do that previous LLMs couldn't: link Geoffrey Hinton recently gave a very interesting interview and he specifically wanted to address the "auto-complete" topic: link to this video Here's another way that Ilya Sutskever recently described it (comparing GPT 4 to 3): link I'd also recommend this recent Sam Bowman article that does a goood job reviewing some of the surprising recent developments/properties of the current crop of LLMs that's pretty fascinating: Bowman, Samuel R. “Eight Things to Know about Large Languag…

On “Geoffrey Hinton leaves Google and can now speak freely about his AI concern”

Yesterday, I randomly watched his full interview from a month ago with CBS Morning, and found the discussion much more nuanced than today's headlines. link to this video The next video in my recommendations was more dire, but equally as interesting: link

On “GitHub Copilot Leaked Prompt”

No, we're past that point. it's no longer the most useful way to describe these things, we need to understand that they already have some sort of "understanding" which is very similar if not equal to what we understand by understanding. Don't take my word for it, listen to Geoffrey Hinton explain it instead: link to this video

On “HuggingGPT: Solving AI Tasks with ChatGPT and Its Friends in HuggingFace”

link to this video Hinton said he didn’t believe it before ChatGPT came out, that AGI is possible in 20 years. It is simple to just checkout peoples’ own words, otherwise you are hallucinating the same way as those LLMs do

On “Generative AI set to affect 300M jobs across major economies”

>Well, that's the capital equipment case then. Is it really a general intelligence if you don't let it be general? It can't handle every possible scenario for you that way. Humans are most useful to other humans as happy slaves. Autonomy only is good for humans as individuals. If we create useful agi of course we will bend it to our will. There is no incentive to make AI as a separate competitor other than an experiment. Either way this is hypothetical. >If your theory is that someone will program an AGI for the specific goal of making you unemployed, sure that could happen. But it sounds more like warfare than economics to me at that point, so I can't comment cause I don't know too much abo…
