hello, i m lucy hockings. the man widely seen as the godfather of artificial intelligence has quit his job at google, warning of the dangers of ai. dr geoffrey hinton s pioneering research on deep learning and neural networks has paved the way for current ai systems like chatgpt, but dr hinton says he now regretted his work and is worried that al technology will flood the internet with misinformation. google responded in a statement saying, we remain committed to a responsible approach to ai. dr hinton has been telling the bbc how these systems can know so much. the kind of intelligence we re developing is very different from the intelligence we have. we are biological systems and these are digital systems and the big difference is, with digital systems, you have many copies of the same set of weights, the same model of the world, and all these copies can learn separately, but share their knowledge instantly. so it s as if you had 10,000 people and whenever one person l
