One of the fathers of AI leaves Google, expresses his fears about the future

Geoffrey Hinton is one of the fathers of AI, having been awarded a prestigious Turing Award in 2018 for the quality of his work in the field of artificial intelligence. This renowned scientist has just announced that he is leaving Google in order to have the freedom to discuss his concerns about the general evolution of the AI ​​sector. Hinton joined Google when the American giant swallowed up the startup he had just founded with two of his students, one of whom would become the scientific director of OpenAI (to whom we owe ChatGPT).

A decade later, things are not going well for Hinton, who expressed his fears in the columns of the New York Times: "I console myself with the normal excuse: 'If I hadn't done it, someone else would have,'" says Hinton. "It's hard to see how you can stop bad people from using it (AI, Ed.) for bad things." What the 75-year-old researcher fears most is the proliferation of fakes of all kinds generated by AI. The "fierce" competition between the many AI players could be unstoppable, according to Hinton, which would necessarily lead to so many fake images and erroneous (but terribly coherent) texts that no one will be able to say "what is true" anymore .

Are Hinton's fears truly well-founded, or are they merely the expression of a scientist from another generation, frightened, like many of his colleagues, by a technology that he both created and fantasized about? Geoffrey Hinton seems to be forgetting a little too quickly that in the fight against "fakes" generated by AI, other AIs are already at work, and that these can determine in record time whether a particular piece of content has an authentic origin or is an artificial production. Certainly, the arms race is well underway, but at least we now know that AIs can also be on the "right" side of the fence.
