During a press conference on Tuesday to reveal the Nobel prize winners, Hinton, speaking via phone, expressed concerns about the potential risks, specifically neural networks becoming uncontrollable.
He mentioned that if given the option to make the discovery again, he would opt to "do the exact same thing." The scientist expressed worry that the outcomes may be negative as advanced systems could take control, speaking with regret regarding the research.
Hinton replied to a journalist's inquiry about the potential implications of his research by stating that he lacks the experience of knowing what it feels like when something is more intelligent than us. Simultaneously, the researcher pointed out that the study "has the potential to offer numerous advantages, such as in the realm of healthcare".
Earlier, it was announced that American John Hopfield and British-Canadian citizen Geoffrey Hinton received the Nobel Prize in physics.
The Nobel Committee stated in a release that the two winners utilized tools from physics to create techniques that are now the basis of modern machine learning.
