One of the biggest fears over the rapid development of AI and the race toward AGI is that the technology could turn on humans, potentially wiping us out. Geoffrey Hinton and Meta's Yann LeCun, two of the "Godfathers of AI," have suggested some of the important guardrails that will protect us from this risk.
Earlier this week, Hinton said he was skeptical that the safeguards AI companies were building to ensure humans remained "dominant" over AI systems were suffient.
"That's not going to work. They're going to be much smarter than us. They're going to have all sorts of ways to get around that," Hinton said at the Ai4 industry conference in Las Vegas.
Hinton's solution is to build what he calls "maternal instincts" into models to ensure that "they really care about people." This is especially important for when the technology reaches Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) levels that are smarter than humans.
