🗞️ News

Godfather of AI Bids Google Goodbye, Sounds Alarm on AI Risks

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "Godfather of AI," has decided to leave Google and take on the role of concerned AI whistleblower. He's worried that the breakneck pace of generative AI development could unleash a Pandora's box of troubles.

The man who laid the groundwork for today's AI tech is raising a red flag about generative AI like ChatGPT. Hinton fears a potential tsunami of misinformation, job-stealing algorithms, and even risks to humanity itself (gasp)!

He's left Google specifically to speak freely about AI. Here's what we know:

• Hinton worries that the aggressive push for AI advancements could lead to misinformation, job displacement, and threats to humanity

• Hinton's immediate concern is that the internet could be inundated with false information, making it difficult for the average person to discern truth

• He believes that a global race between tech giants could spiral out of control, requiring international regulation to manage AI development and threats

• The AI expert calls for global collaboration among scientists to develop methods for controlling AI technology before scaling it further

Our Take: Hinton's departure from Google and his concerns about AI's potential dangers serve as yet another wake-up call for creators and businesses to understand the potential AI risks and engage in responsible development and usage.

EU's Proposed AI Act is a Game-Changer for Generative AI Regulations

Whelp, the EU just proposed the "Artificial Intelligence Act" to regulate generative AI tools like ChatGPT. This game-changing legislation tackles profit-sharing with original content creators and makes sure AI tech adheres to EU content laws.

Violators could face whopping fines of up to 30 million euros or 6% of global profits! As for their pals across the pond in the US, we're taking a different path (for now), focusing on guidelines and AI risk management frameworks.

Does this remind anyone of GDPR? Here's a breakdown of the act:

• EU proposes the "Artificial Intelligence Act" to regulate generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjouney, Dall-e, and more

• The Act calls for safeguards on large language models (LLMs) to prevent content that violates EU laws

• Original content creators may share in the profits resulting from the use of their work in generative AI applications

• Violators of the act could result in fines up to 30 million euros or 6% of global profits. That's a lot of dough!

• The US and EU currently differ in their approaches to AI risk management and regulation, with the US focusing on guidelines and frameworks (for now)

Why This Matters: The EU's "Artificial Intelligence Act" may set a precedent for regulating AI, potentially affecting creators and businesses worldwide (like GDPR).
