AI could become threat for many jobs: Geoffrey Hinton

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased rapidly in the last few years. Along with its benefits, many disadvantages have also come to light. Geoffrey Hinton, one of the experts on Artificial Intelligence, has expressed concern about the impact of AI on the job market and society.

a media Report Hinton is quoted as saying that AI could lead to the loss of many jobs and would increase income inequality. He believes that AI will increase wealth and productivity but the benefits related to the economy will mainly go to the rich people. This will leave behind those people whose jobs have been taken away by automation. Hinton said this would harm society. Hinton said it is important to implement Universal Basic Income (UBI) to reduce the negative effects of AI on employment. With UBI, the government will provide a basic salary to all the people and it will not consider their financial condition.

Hinton, who worked at American technology company Google until last year, said that he has told the British government that UBI is a good idea. Hinton wanted to speak freely about the dangers of unregulated AI, which is why he decided to leave Google last year. Their fears about AI go beyond the loss of jobs. Earlier, Hinton had told that AI chatbots can be quite dangerous. He warned that these chatbots could become more intelligent than humans in the coming years and could be misused by criminals.

A major concern of Hinton is related to the use of AI technology in the defense sector. He estimates that in the next few years, the use of AI in intelligence may increase and these systems can make decisions on their own. They may also try to take control of many important bases. There is a possibility of huge loss due to this. These warnings from Hinton show the need for governments to take immediate action to deal with the regulatory and ethical challenges of this technology. A
