AI to deepen inequality, says 'Godfather of AI'

Geoffrey Hinton, a famous computer scientist known as the 'Godfather of AI', has warned that artificial intelligence could make inequality worse.

He thinks AI will replace many workers, leading to massive unemployment and making a few people much richer while most people become poorer.

Hinton believes this is not AI's fault but rather how the capitalist system works.

He also thinks healthcare jobs might be safer because AI could make doctors more efficient, allowing more people to receive care.

However, he is worried about AI's risks, including the possibility of it being used to create bioweapons or becoming uncontrollable.

Despite these concerns, Hinton acknowledges that AI has enormous potential for good, but the future is uncertain.

He even shared a personal story about how AI showed up in his life, including a chatbot being used during a breakup.
