AI will take our jobs. I've already written about it, but nothing compares to this interview of one of the most influential inventors of AI, Geoffrey Hinton — whom I also had the pleasure to meet in Toronto.
In the answer to "what should we learn and do?", he responds: "train to be a plumber." A very provocative statement, but there is a reality in it.
At some point in the interview, he and Steven Bartlett are drawing lines between the creation of the atomic bomb and AI. It is fascinating to me how he is following the path of Robert Oppenheimer — from the creator of the technology to a troubled alarmist of the consequences of the technology he helped see the day.
What struck me most wasn't just Geoffrey's technical brilliance. It was his humility. His honesty in admitting he once didn't fully grasp the dangers, and his conviction in sounding the alarm now — even if it means confronting the industry he helped create.
I urge you to listen to the interview and share your thoughts. I would love to discuss the matter with you.
