AI: What Could Go Wrong? with Geoffrey Hinton | The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

In this episode of The Weekly Show podcast, Jon Stewart interviews Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," to demystify artificial intelligence. Hinton explains the evolution from keyword-based search engines to AI's understanding of language through neural networks, drawing parallels to how the human brain learns via connections between neurons. The conversation covers machine learning, deep learning, and the backpropagation algorithm, illustrating how AI systems learn to recognize patterns, predict language, and even develop subjective experiences. They discuss the risks of AI, including misuse by bad actors, the potential for AI to surpass human intelligence, and the economic and social disruptions it may cause, while also touching on the roles of China, Europe, and the US in regulating AI development.
