Optimistic Rise Of Artificial Intelligence Is Not To Be Feared, Says 'Father Of AI
The Guardian Weekly
|May 12, 2023
The man once described as the father of artificial intelligence is breaking ranks with many of his contemporaries who are fearful of the AI arms race, saying what is coming is inevitable and we should learn to embrace it
Prof Jürgen Schmidhuber's work on neural networks in the 1990s was developed into language-processing models that went on to be used in technologies such as Google Translate and Apple's Siri. The New York Times said in 2016 that, when AI matured, it might call Schmidhuber "Dad".
That maturity has arrived, and while some Al pioneers are looking upon their creations in horror - calling for a handbrake on the acceleration and proliferation of the technology - Schmidhuber says those calls are misguided.
The German computer scientist says there is competition between governments, universities and companies seeking to advance the technology, meaning there is an AI arms race, whether humanity likes it or not.
