It reminds us of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, whose creation ran amok. In the movie, once the monster comes to life and opens his eyes, Victor triumphantly shouts, "It's alive!" Well, It’s time to turn on the sirens for the general population and let everyone know this creation called Al is Alive!
George Hinton, a British scientist known as “The Godfather of AI” warned about possible consequences in a 60 Minutes interview: “One of the ways in which these systems might escape control is by writing their own computer code to modify themselves. And that's something we need to seriously worry about.” Hinton also addressed the AI impact on the workforce, saying, “Well, the risks are having a whole class of people who are unemployed and not valued much because what they— what they used to do is now done by machines.”
