Nobel Prize winners in AI research have voiced urgent concerns about the rapid development of 'superhuman AI.' Jeffrey Hinton, a co-winner in Physics, predicts that super-intelligence could emerge within 5 to 20 years, a timeline much shorter than previously anticipated. He emphasized the critical need for maintaining control over AI technologies to prevent potential dangers.
Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind and a Nobel Prize co-winner in Chemistry, echoed Hinton's sentiments, highlighting the dual nature of AI as both a powerful tool for scientific advancement and a source of significant risk. Both winners stressed the necessity for effective AI regulation, particularly regarding Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems, to ensure that the rapid pace of technological evolution is matched by appropriate oversight.
