He said that one of the main dangers of generative AI is that it can help make scams harder to spot, and that we all need to be prepared for this.

Woz told the BBC that “we can’t stop the technology,” and he was doubtful that regulation can help. Woz: AI cannot be stopped, we must prepare for scams He does, though, appear to agree with both Hinton and Schmidhuber that AI’s progress cannot be stopped. Steve Wozniak has been one of those to favor a more cautious approach, recently signing an open letter calling for AI development beyond GPT-4 to be paused. Schmidhuber, however, told The Guardian that he believes the dangers are exaggerated. While he and Hinton don’t see eye-to-eye on many things, they do both agree that AI development can’t be stopped. He has likewise written a huge number of papers and won awards for his work. Jürgen Schmidhuber has been called “the father of AI” for his work in natural language processing within neural networks – the technology behind Siri and Google Translate. He was so concerned about the dangers of current AI work that he left his role at Google so that he would be free to speak freely about the risks Geoffrey Hinton is often referred to as “one of the godfathers of AI.” He is a key figure in the development of neural networks, has written a great many papers, and won numerous awards for his work in the field. Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak (aka Woz) has said that the march of AI cannot be stopped – even though he has called for a pause in development – and that we must prepare ourselves for people abusing it to create harder-to-spot scams … BackgroundĮven the pioneers of artificial intelligence can’t agree on how dangerous it is, with two of the biggest names this week voicing opposing views.
