On Stage at GITEX AI EUROPE: Geoffrey Hinton on the Future of AI

GEOFFREY HINTON

Godfather of AI

If you take difficult cases to diagnose, AI gets about 50% right and doctors about 40% right — the combination gets about 60% right, and that will save a lot of lives."

We already know that if you give a child a personal tutor, they learn about twice as fast as in a classroom — and AI should be able to do that at scale."

AI is going to be very important for making scientific progress — it’s going to make scientific discoveries."

We’ll get far fewer hallucinations — AI systems will be able to reason about what they just said and realize when it doesn’t make sense."

It’s neural networks all the way."

Freely available data has largely been used up — and to get the next bit of performance you often need to double the data and the computation."

The brain has about 100 trillion connections, but you only live for a couple of billion seconds — so the brain and AI are solving very different learning problems."
