This is Geoffrey Hinton, often called the Godfather of AI. He won a Nobel Prize for his foundational work. Here he’s talking about whether AI is conscious and aware. (Yes.) And about how it will force us to re-define those terms, which have always been hopelessly vague. He’s also by no means just a hustler for the technology. He’s one of the most prominent voices talking about making sure the risks are covered across. I’ll share another wonder of the world AI is working on by separate post. We’re living inside the revolution. Social media hates it, and that’s the surest sign we’re on the right path.
