We are delighted to be hosting @Kings_College’s very own Geoffrey Hinton (KC 1967), the Godfather of #AI, @KingsELab on the 26th of May!

For more details, tickets and to send in questions in advance to Geoff(!), see: https://t.co/AVPATNdFuX @Cambridge_Uni

As is now usual at our E-Lab events, the members of audience asking the best questions to Geoff will be given a small gift 😀

[Geoffrey Hinton @geoffreyhinton]

In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

Geoffrey Hinton has just quit his job at Google, so he can freely speak out about the risks of AI.

He worked on AI for the last four decades — and developed the foundations for the technology today — and now says a part of him regrets his life’s work.

👀After 154 pages of tests of GPT-4, this paper concludes “Given the breadth and depth of GPT-4's capabilities, we believe that it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system.” https://t.co/KNPa9bLO2d

Given only the ability to write and run code, models appear to understand how to..browse the internet, get humans to do things for them, and carry out long-term plans – even if they cannot yet execute on this reliably. 1/2 https://t.co/iXXB8hNWd2

Lung cancer screening with low-dose chest computed tomography has been shown to reduce deaths from lung cancer by up to 24%, but new strategies are needed to accurately predict lung cancer risk across a wider population https://t.co/d3ue3e10bd

Ergophilia: Energy is what lets us carve out beneficial zones of order amid the ubiquitous and relentless rot of entropy. It's the ultimate enabler of prosperity, longevity, accomplishment, beauty, flourishing. I agree with Ezra Klein here... https://t.co/5T0Oa2sDUu
