In a recent science and technology lecture, Professor Geoffrey Hinton, known as the father of AI, delved into the future of digital intelligence and biological intelligence. Professor Hinton's topic focuses on large language models, such as GPT-4, and their potential to surpass and replace human intelligence. The lecture provided insights into the possibilities of AI development, how it can be learned, its ability to understand context, and its potential risks.
Professor Hinton pointed out that digital intelligence has access to vast amounts of data far beyond an individual's possible experience, which gives models such as GPT-4 an astonishing amount of knowledge and understanding. He argues that even the illusions and misinformation produced by the models challenge the idea that they do not understand, because such phenomena also exist in human memory.
In particular, GPT-4 has demonstrated a strong ability to deal with the ambiguity of real language, understand context, and make analogies across domains. This ability may surpass human knowledge and understanding, and Professor Hinton mentions that large language models are even able to understand newly coined words based on context"scromed"meaning, reflecting a strong sense of context.
However, the transcendence of digital intelligence over biological intelligence also brings concerns and pitfalls. The professor warns that superintelligence may be quick to recognize that gaining more power is a good sub-goal, which can lead to potential dangers. In response, he raised the potential risks of digital intelligence, such as the ability to control and manipulate humans, as well as the lack of regulation in the West** in its proliferation. In order to ensure the safety of AI, the professor suggested that large companies should invest one-third of their AI funds in security research, and emphasized that more attention should be paid to AI security research.
Professor Hinton concluded by saying that despite the great potential and limitations of digital intelligence, we must carefully consider the potential dangers of AI and develop new communication methods for this purpose. As AI technology continues to advance, it has become essential to ensure a harmonious coexistence with advanced AI.
