Prof. Geoffrey Hinton - "Will digital intelligence replace biological intelligence?" Romanes Lecture

Professor Geoffrey Hinton, CC, FRS, FRSC, the ‘Godfather of AI’, delivered Oxford's annual Romanes Lecture at the Sheldonian Theatre on Monday, 19 February 2024.
The public lecture entitled ‘Will digital intelligence replace biological intelligence?’ discussed the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) and how to ensure it does not take control of humans, and consequently, wipe out humanity. He said that the fact that digital intelligence is immortal and does not evolve should make it less susceptible to religion and wars, but ‘if a digital super-intelligence ever wanted to take control it is unlikely that we could stop it,’ he added.
The British-Canadian computer scientist and cognitive psychologist also spoke of how AI could replace humans in the workforce and how it could be used to spread misinformation. He had previously believed that it could take AI systems up to a century to become ‘super intelligent’. He now thinks that it could happen much sooner than he had anticipated.
The Romanes Lecture is the annual public lecture of the University. A most distinguished public figure from the arts, science or literature is invited by special invitation of the Vice-Chancellor. The lecture was created in 1891, following an offer by George John Romanes of Christ Church to fund an annual lecture, and the first lecture was given in 1892 by William Gladstone. www.ox.ac.uk/n...

Amazing and smart guy. This man.

[@marksmit8112]

Very interesting and accurate lecture. Could not dispute any of the points raised and AI as we know is full of hype and misinformation. Many thanks for sharing.

A national treasure!

Great lecture. I think the distinguishment between humans and machines is hesitation in judging and a clearer understanding of the "WHY" behind the content currently being worked on. In other words, when you are chatting with chatGPT, it possesses no particular reason or "self-awareness" of the content about to be generated. It obeys some regulations to yield the outcome because we want it to do so. It is worth noting that if the design fails to regulate the program, the program will keep running, no matter what outcome it will generate, which is what we should pay 一番 attention to.

As someone who is a non-expert in AI, and the father of a 2 year old, I don't feel convinced by parallels between AI and Humans when it comes to language acquisition. My daughter after looking at a something like say a 'Chair', understands the concept at a deeper level. She connects 'being seated' to a Chair. Doesn't need to look at a million images of chairs, doesn't get confused between different kinds of chairs. Can draw make new statements which probably have never been uttered before by connecting several dots. All this from relatively very small training data sets.

Excellent vdo lecture bt.as a professional in my opinion implementation of new technologies r important in the present scenario and for the future in this Competitive world bt.HR top executives should be competent enough related to policies, strategies, Evaluations, Review process,true statistical analysis nd techniques nd reviewing the whole process time to time as Trainers r the backbone of any organization nd there r different Training Methodologies which imparts skill development in employee.I m also taking the lecture in normal way as compared to biological aspects sir.Ther r pros nd cons in every field so perfect learning is essential apart from different aspects of perfect knowledge.Intermingling nd effective communication skills induce confidence in the workers' nd top level executives to for OD nd OB.It is a continuous process in brief in my opinion though it is a vry broad field.Vry.innovative nd inspiring Lecture.Thanx.

It so reminds me of the three laws of robotics by Isaac Asimov. We may need them now..

How comes this video has no comments

[@bobinkurian3357]

If AI converts words into features and that is how humans think as well, then what feature comes into mind when given the word consciousness or mind, multiple dimensions, etc.??

[@urosuros2072]

gud video

[@dustman96]

So the interactions are so complicated that it would take an advanced AI to understand an AI?

[@vl7273]

Wooow!
