The evolution of AI
Many ideas I have for newsletter topics come about through casual chats and I love a good dinner conversation. Only recently we were talking about the scriptwriters’ strike in America (because of AI) which led us to talk about who had originally created AI. One of the godfathers of AI, George Hinton has now left Google with his reason cited as “A part of him now regrets his life’s work”. I know I am not alone in finding this kind of scary as, although we can all recognise the potential good of AI – especially in the medical and manufacturing sectors – undoubtedly legislation is required to try and set some ethical standards. The conundrum is how to find individuals who are sufficiently independent and knowledgeable to make those rulings.
