He foresees a scenario where AI poses a threat to humanity. He believes that the current approaches of the ‘tech bros’ developing this technology are flawed. Hinton, a Nobel laureate in computer science, discussed with CNN the possibility, which he estimates at 10-20%, of AI ca…

Meta Scientist Highlights Core Principles for Safer AI

Meta’s chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, has outlined two main directives he believes could reduce the risk of harm from artificial intelligence systems, while also suggesting a series of smaller, built-in safety measures. His comments came after AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton recently proposed designing systems with traits similar to nurturing instincts. LeCun emphasized the need for AI systems to operate only within objectives set by humans. He desc…
