Quick Read
We were all wrong,” admits Dr Geoffrey Hinton in conversation with podcaster Nayeema Raza. It’s not every day that you hear this admission from a Nobel Prize awardee. Long before he became the Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics for his work on machine learning in 2024, Hinton joined Google Brain in 2012 (the AI arm of Google). He would later resign in 2023 citing the growing risks of AI for humanity. Hence, his admission in the podcast: That he, along with many like him, were wrong in predicting how soon Artificial Intelligence (AI) would become a tangible threat.
Throughout the 30-minute podcast, Raza throws oversimplified questions at the Nobel Laureate. Understandably so — the podcast titled Smart Girl Dumb Questions pitches questions that many of us have pondered upon, but never asked out loud. “Is there anything humans can do better than AI?” she asks. Hinton admits, “Absolutely nothing.” To its credit, the podcast steers clear of conspiracy theories (except a short detour to take shots at Tesla and X owner Elon Musk’s vested interests).
