Professor Geoffrey Hinton is also renowned as the “Godfather of AI” and made an impact since he stepped down from being part of Google after he was concerned about technology. In an interview with the New York Times he stated, “he sometimes regretted his life’s work”. He was awarded the 2024 global prize, one of the most prestigious awards in the world for physics. This is as he was one of the scientists who laid down the foundation for artificial intelligence. Although, he does believe that AI can be a potential threat towards humanity. He warned that the machines involved in technology can often learn unexpected behaviour from the data that the scientists collect and analyse.
