Artificial intelligence has indeed started to revolutionise our lives, but beneath its transformative facade lie concerns that experts can’t ignore. From disinformation campaigns to existential threats, here are six chilling warnings from notable figures in the tech world and academia.

Geoff Hinton says AI has a very different intelligence than we do

Geoff Hinton, a pioneer in artificial intelligence research also known as the ‘Godfather of AI’, told the BBC that the intelligence we’re developing with AI is “very different from the intelligence we have.” He explained that as digital rather than biological systems, AI has vastly greater data processing capacities. He also warned this could be misused by “bad actors” in the future.

Hinton, who previously worked at Google left the company to warn others about the risks of the technology. “I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google,” he tweeted in May.

The rapid progress in AI capabilities has opened up amazing possibilities, but also unpredictable risks. As the technology advances, we may find machine intelligence taking on forms we can hardly imagine today. That is why leading experts are advocating for urgent conversations about how to ensure AI is developed safely and responsibly.
