A German computer scientist known as the “Father of AI” said his concerns about technology are misplaced and cannot stop the progress of artificial intelligence.
According to The Guardian, Jürgen Schmidhuber said of artificial intelligence and the current international race to build more powerful systems, “You can’t stop it.” Because a country may have really different goals than another country, so of course they are not going to join some kind of moratorium.”
Schmidhuber worked on artificial neural networks in the 1990s, and his work later led to language processing models for technologies such as Google Translate, The Guardian reports.
He is currently the director of the AI Initiative at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, where he says in his bio that he is working to build a “self-improving artificial intelligence (AI) smarter than himself.” . I was about 15.

Schmidhuber believes that no one is trying to stop progress in developing powerful artificial intelligence systems, stating, “In 95% of all cases, AI research will help people live longer, healthier lives.” And it’s all about our old motto of making it easier.” .”
Schmidhuber also said that concerns about AI are misplaced, and that developing AI-powered tools for the right purposes is countering bad actors using the technology.

According to The Guardian, “the same tools currently being used to improve lives could not only be used by villains, but against them,” he said. Told.

His comments came as other tech leaders and experts issued warnings that powerful technology poses a danger to humanity. Tesla founder Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak signed a letter in March asking the AI lab to pause research until safety measures are put in place, along with thousands of others.

AI’s Artificial Intelligence ‘Godfather’ Could Wipe Out Humanity: ‘It’s Not Inconceivable’
Known as the “Godfather of AI,” Geoffrey Hinton announced this month that he was quitting his job at Google to voice his concerns about the technology. Hinton said on Friday that AI could pose a “more urgent” risk to humanity than climate change, despite sharing similar concerns with tech leaders such as Musk. He said it was “totally unrealistic” to pause AI research in the lab.
“I am in the camp of thinking that this is an existential risk and we are close enough that we are working very hard now to understand what we can do about it. We need to put a lot of resources into it,” he told Reuters.
Schmidhuber, who openly criticized Hinton for allegedly not citing fellow researchers in his study, told The Guardian that AI will surpass human intelligence and that using AI systems will ultimately benefit people. He said he would bring

“I’ve been working [AI] I still believe that I could see AI become so much smarter than me, basically for decades from the 80s, that I would be able to retire,” Schmidhuber said in 2018.
