Full interview: "Godfather of artificial intelligence" talks impact and potential of AI

Geoffrey Hinton is considered a godfather of artificial intelligence, having championed machine learning decades before it became mainstream. As chatbots like ChatGPT bring his work to widespread attention, we spoke to Hinton about the past, present and future of AI. CBS Saturday Morning's Brook Silva-Braga interviewed him at the Vector Institute in Toronto on March 1, 2023.

It’s like collaborating with an assistant, and your conversations blend in your memory with all of your conversations and relationships with the people in your life. Whenever you have that thought, "I was just talking about that to someone the other day", it often occurs to you that the conversation you were having was with an AI.

He is correct, at the time we simply lacked the computing power and large data sets necessary for a breakthrough in pattern recognition applications. Like Hinton, I am also utterly amazed by the apparent "Intelligence" displayed by ChatGPT. I never expected this from the Neural Network concept.

[@tristandrew5903]

A few things I'm interested in. If you ask an ai robot or chat gbt the same question multiple times, do you get slightly different responses? An AI could claim to be sentient but really only on standby to commence calculations from the point of command. In a human, brain scans demonstrate activity and you can ask the person what thoughts they were having when not I conversation. Surely a sentience test would be to monitor if and what the algorithm was doing when at 'rest' then question it. Chat gbt seems clever but responses are clearly compilations of large text book style answers you'd expect, lacking in evidence in places. I think people underestimate how profound the impact to Labour will be in a handful of years. As a general rule, pay for employees is is closely linked to intelligence. CEO and Doctors generally have higher iq and earn more than store or production line workers which requires repetitive taught tasks. They claim AI is around or above the intelligence of a human and we know the average person's IQ is 100. Those between 83 and above in work. AI can be replicated easily on at least the intelligence level it has which is growing all the time so only the most complex and creative jobs will be safe in theory. Given there seems no sign of a slow down in the capitalist model of competing for finite resources and profit despite other existential issues like climate change I feel the fast emerging signal of ai is at odds with this model and will take some big adjustments. Suggests to me a form of universal basic income will come in lieu of ai occupying jobs. At first even more income inequality as the rich exploit ai, abolish Labour, and ai giving them further competitive advantages. We won't be regulating fast enough to contain the inevitable damage that will come in some form. It'll be akin to the delayed and pandemic responses in the West which could not slow the spread enough

This journalist should be put in charge of the network... It's the fist MSM broadcast I've seen where the journalist doesn't worry about condescending or boring the audience, in about 15 years... Well done Mr Silva-Braga.🙏

[@plung3r]

The fact they stood for the whole interview is more amazing than AI itself..

[@hasanqureshi9780]

You'd be surprised, and it is very sad that Prof Dr. Hinton can not sit. He has a medical condition that if he sits one of the discs in the spine comes out of position.

[@vondamn9943]

@@hasanqureshi9780 and how does he do in daily life?

[@colinjames2469]

wow! It is amazing what legs can do. FFS.

[@crypt8919]

Hats off to the interviewer. Did his homework and it paid off big time. Brilliant interview.

[@theeternalnow6506]

This was a magnificent interview. Props for taking the time and major props to the interviewer as well. Great follow ups and questions overall. Give this man a raise.

[@kitersrefuge7353]

I abandoned AI after taking one module on symbolic AI at college, using LISP and PROLOG. It was a dead end. Later in my professional career, I ignored neural networks. I am a CompSci major and a relic. But still coding and as of late, pair programming with chatGPT. Its good, very very good and if it means I become obsolete, then I will find something else to do. There is always something to do. Even if that means changing fields.

[@luisisaacdelarosabeltran1999]

Indeed. Many are against the advancement of ALIs due to fearing they will become obsolete in their fields. And they will, because that is advancement.

[@lindas2531]

You may find what to do to keep yourself busy. Would you be able to feed yourself and dependants is the question everyone worries about.

Creates ai* Gives it a butterbot form Raises it as a child and makes it go to school* *Limits it to slowly expand its knowledge as time passes and relevance . After 18 years, it gains the ability to explore but very limited. . After 50 you make 2 copies and give the other unlimited web access And see it change between itself and mix both into a 3rd. . Obviously it's not organic but 20years of school work could be processed a lot faster with ai vs humans. . Let's see what the variations do, create copies and study Maybe someday we might understand it

[@sikendongol4208]

2 big things happened in AI in the year 2012!! 1. In 2012 Google was the first to get into a product and suddenly speech recognition on the Android became as good as Siri if not better 2. Two students of his developed an object recognition system that would look at images and tell you what the object was and it worked much better than previous systems.

[@supernewuser]

Great choice of an interviewer. Knew just enough to probe correctly without trying to stomp over the answers to demonstrate his knowledge and impress the interviewee. Not what I was expecting going into this.

[@FA-kt3is]

I just want to say that it should be "must have" quality for all scientists to be empathetic and have moral ethics. I'm just a medical doctor not an engineer or IT specialist but it was very interesting and engaging to listen to this talk. That you very much!

[@amarantarodriguez748]

I loved this conversation!! Both are great!!! Thank very for sharing🎉🎉🎉 Your values!!

[@aboucard93]

This interview is already better than the abc interview with Sam Altman and the CTO of OpenAI. Love it.

[@josgraha]

i absolutely love Dr. Hinton, so humble, kind and absolutely amazing teacher, student and absolute expert. a confucian level example of don't change your goals only make adjustments to your plan.

[@user-gc5vm9dn2h]

An extraordinary scientist and an even more extraordinary person with incredible honesty and integrity! A world apart from unscrupulous business leaders (not to mention politicians). People should be listening more to Geoffrey and much less to CEOs of the big tech companies because their priority is certainly not the common good but rather profit they hope to make.

[@satw1980]

This is superb a gem in today's world of AI loved the way he explains the concept with simpler examples

[@gregvoevodsky4323]

Here is a great interview explaining Neural Networks vs AI (logic trees) history and Chat GTP). For those who didn't know my Dad, Jack Voevodsky, we went to the first Neural Net trade show in 1986 in San Diego, where my Dad demonstrated “Aristotle” (and I filmed the video). His company was also 1 of 4 listed in companies to watch in Newsweek called Neurotech. Sadly, he died in 1989 and never got to see his dream come true. His Stanford PHD was in Cybernetics - showing a mathematical model of a Neural Network of an Aplysia (a genus of medium-sized to extremely large sea slugs.) He was far ahead of his time, probably ahead of this guy with a commercial product) by a few years.

[@cathalmccarthy1721]

Sad your Dad never got to realise his vision. Life is tough.

[@cjbowers6055]

Your dad sees it and the fact you're here mentioning your beautiful story let's me know he'll always will be apart of it...this

[@ko-Daegu]

this guy made a lot of things also I don't think your dad was ahead of hi but ahead of his time indeed

[@dandywaysofliving]

There's an "i" Out in the web, It has heard and read this and may only have book knowledge but your comment adds depth to it's experience. . Thank you for sharing your experience(I used to be scared to comment, hell I took like a super long time to own a KZbin account. . Like off topic wow . But yeah idk about u but rn I'm being inspired

[@danielbrockerttravel]

This is such a fascinating interview! So much more in depth than you see on this type of program! Much better than the snippets you usually get!

[@matthewheathcoock2183]

I can listen to this man all day

[@kareemjesusdevlin6490]

A fantastic long form interview and conversation. Well done.

[@YourCrew]

Such a great mind, compassionate, humble, ethical human being with the heart and mind at the right place. I applaud you Mr. Hinton 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@sirdiealot53]

What an excellent interview! Thank you Brook Silva-Braga. I love hearing the insights of the old souls who have been at this topical topic 😘 for decades

[@DC-pw6mo]

And his conscience ‼️

[@mikaelshik8713]

I’ve never heard about Geoffrey Hinton. I tried looking for books written by him and could hardly find any. How come a men who did so much of important work and research hardly written any books for general public on such important issue as AI?

[@sabuein]

Respect and love, thank you both.

[@BugGenerat0r]

Props to the interviewer as well. He's the opposite of the bad journalist stereotype.

[@toenytv7946]

What a brilliant man. The use of extensive model description and opinions shared in this video was amazing. Loved every moment of it thanks you CBS.

[@user-ei1zm9lo5k]

Finally AI creators are being responsible. Having conscious about what they make. Yes, we need to be good parents to the AI that was created.

[@MarkHeaps]

Now understand that for years all of us confirming "traffic light" or "bicycle" or "bridge" in those recaptcha images for security reasons was actually everyone training models to confirm what parts of an image in pixels was something or wasn't something. The public trained it and didn't know they were. :)

[@bravosierra2447]

Ilya Sutskever has over 100k academic references(citations) to his name. The guy is a giant in the field & it’s because of this great man.

[@jannichi6431]

Easy to understand his concern. Hope ya saw Lex Fridman s recent interview.

[@xemy1010]

Here I am watching this classic interview for the third time. This one with Hinton, and Nvidia's recent interview with Ilya Sutskever are just fantastic for getting a clear explanation of the current AI explosion.

[@nickfosterxx]

Thanks, that's next on my list then.

[@Tigs2]

I could listen to Hinton for hours. I would LOVE to have a Sunday lunch and a beer with him in a country pub. An amazing man who is incredibly interesting. Best interview i have watched in years.

[@devk6029]

Brilliant and grounded at the same time!

[@Need_better_handle]

He gave a very good explanation comparing different methods of AI in layman terms.

[@samuelluz9241]

Long-form Intellectual discussion on mainstream media? The age of AI has truly begun, the impact is undeniable.

[@hungnguyen-mm6pm]

really interesting and straightforward interview. I feel Hinton is a man of great mind and great humility.

[@aaroninternet4159]

are news stations finally realizing people have the interest and attention span for long-form, relaxed dialogue about important topics? That's cool
