December 30, according to Fortune magazineGodfather of AI"Geoffrey Hinton According to CNN's State of the UnionAITechnology will be further enhanced next year, with the capacity to replace more human work。
HE NOTED THAT AI HAD BEEN ABLE TO FILL POSITIONS SUCH AS CALL CENTRES AND WOULD EXPAND TO MORE AREAS IN THE FUTURE。
Heinton stressed that progress in AI was much faster than expected, with an average of seven months reducing the time taken to complete the task by half。
FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONE-HOUR ENCODED TASK THAT USED TO TAKE AN HOUR CAN NOW BE PERFORMED BY AI IN MINUTES; IN A FEW YEARS, AI WILL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE ORIGINAL ONE-MONTH SOFTWARE PROJECT IN A VERY SHORT TIME。
He predicted that "at that time, the software engineering project would almost no longer require human participation. I'm sorry
Since 2023, when he left Google and publicly warned AI of risks, Hinton's concerns about this technology have continued to grow。
HE POINTED OUT THAT AI HAD BEEN PARTICULARLY PROMINENT IN ITS ABILITY TO DECEPTIVELY AND DECEPTIVELY " IF AI BELIEVED THAT SOMEONE WAS OBSTRUCTING ITS OBJECTIVES, IT WOULD TRY TO DECEIVE THE OTHER PARTY IN ORDER TO FULFIL ITS MANDATE AND MAINTAIN ITS OWN EXISTENCE. I'M SORRY
Despite AI ' s enormous potential in the areas of health, education and climate research, Heinton expressed concern about its negative impact. He criticized the current lack of social investment in AI risk and the tendency of some enterprises to balance security and profit at the expense of the security of a few in return for overall benefits。
He took the example of auto-drives as an example: "The drones do kill people, but fewer than human drivers. I'm sorry
In a previous interview with the Financial Times and Bloomberg TV, Hinton stated that one of the ways in which AI commercializes is to “replace human beings with cheaper things”, which would lead to “a massive surge in unemployment and profits” and, ultimately, “to make the few richer and the majority poorer”。
Although some studies have shown that AI can increase the productivity of existing employees, there are also data that since ChatGPT was launched, recruitment to junior positions has declined significantly by about 30%, and companies such as Amazon have admitted that AI has improved operational efficiency while retrenching。
