Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned AI pioneer, resigned from Google on Monday to be able to talk about the dangers of AI without any effect on the company.
He has concerns about the pace at which companies such as Google and OpenAI are developing AI tools.
Generative AI tools are replacing human workers and hold the risk of spreading false information.
Hinton is also worried about how hard it is to regulate the technology as companies and governments work on it in secret and bad actors use it for criminal purposes.
