I was inspired by what I learned in 2015-2017 about AI's potential from Harari, Tegmark, Kurzweil, Hinton, and others.Īnd I made a practical proposal to the National Science Foundation in 2017 about an AI-driven Learning Design Engine to create custom, interactive AR/VR lessons, in math and science especially.

Obviously, these are concerns I share and they comprise the primary themes of my book in progress, Before The Singularity, about what we need to do with education to prepare and equip young minds for the brave new world of AI. In a statement to CNBC, Hinton said, "I now think the digital intelligences we are creating are very different from biological intelligences." He cited the near-term risks of AI taking jobs, and the proliferation of fake photos, videos and text that appear real to the average person. Hinton, who was named a 2018 Turing Award winner for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs, said he now has some regrets over his life's work. "I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. But he has quit the internet giant, and he told The New York Times that he’ll be warning the world about the potential threat of AI, which he said is coming sooner than he previously thought. Here were some summary highlights from a CNBC article by Jennifer Elias.įor the past decade Hinton worked part-time at Google, between the company's Silicon Valley headquarters and Toronto. Geoffrey Hinton was profiled in the NYT this morning and asked about his pending departure from Google. Ironically today, "The Godfather of AI" is now hanging up his cleats and ready to talk about the brain damage his sport may cause. Now, we're all talking about the "super bot" in awed, hushed tones, and wondering what jobs it can replace. What I did NOT predict is that ChatGPT would catch on like wildfire this year and be the instrument that directly and rapidly teaches everyone the power of AI.

That's what we've tried to do with the King of AI.Ĭonversely, I mentioned the cloudy nature of my short-term crystal ball in March when I wrote my ChatGPT report for Zacks Confidential (where I recommended NVDA, SNPS, PATH, Microsoft (( MSFT Quick Quote MSFT - Free Report) ), and GOOGL). It's far better to spot the big trends and bet on those. They may be right one day, but picking that spot is a tough way to make a living. Interesting day, especially for those traders still trying to short NVIDIA (( NVDA Quick Quote NVDA - Free Report) ), which ramped 4% to $289. Here's what I wrote to members of my TAZR Trader service. I'll give a sampling of analyst commentary, but first let's dissect the big Artificial Intelligence news of May 1st. The Zack Consensus EPS estimates now stand at 18% and 16% growth for 20, respectively. Wall Street analysts liked the report so much that most raised their estimates and price targets for this year and next. Alphabet (( GOOGL Quick Quote GOOGL - Free Report) ) reported solid Q1 results last week and rolled out podcasts inside YouTube Music.
