While I was in Las Vegas yesterday doing a keynote about AI at eBay's Open 25 conference, Geoffrey Hinton was across town at the Ai4 conference with a far more pessimistic view of the future. The Nobel Prize-winning "godfather of AI" didn't just repeat his warnings about superintelligent AI wiping out humanity (though he's still giving us 10-20% odds), he proposed something far stranger: we need to give AI maternal instincts.
