TL;DR
Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer of neural network AI, warns that digital intelligences are fundamentally superior to biological ones due to their ability to share learned weights at trillions of bits per second and achieve immortality through weight storage.
Key insights
- Hinton distinguishes two categories of AI risk: risks from humans misusing AI (short-term, majority of risks) and risks from AI becoming superintelligent and deciding it does not need humans (existent
- Digital intelligences are billions of times better than humans at sharing information because they can average trillions of connection weights across clones, whereas humans are limited to ~10 bits/sec
- An AI can be immortal: destroying its hardware is irrelevant if the connection strengths are stored, as it can be recreated on new hardware.
