Q&A with AI pioneer and Turing Award winner Geoffrey Hinton on the evolution of neural networks, consciousness, teaching computers to dream, future plans, more
Geoffrey Hinton is one of the creators of Deep Learning, a 2019 winner of the Turing Award, and an engineering fellow at Google. Tweets: @jgvfwstone , @skdh , and @nxthompson Tweets: James V Stone / @jgvfwstone : Geoff Hinton: “There's something in a John Lennon song that sounds very like what you just said.” From: https://www.wired.com/... Possibly this Lennon song? “There's nothing you can do that can't be done ... Nothing you can make that can't be made It's easy All you need is love” Sabine Hossenfelder / @skdh : “[N]ow I see people who spend years saying neural networks are nonsense, saying “I'm an AI professor, so I need money.” And it's annoying.” https://www.wired.com/... Nicholas Thompson / @nxthompson : “So love could be reconstructed by a neural network? Consciousness can be reconstructed?” “Absolutely. Once you've figured out what those things mean.” Here's my convo with AI pioneer @geoffreyhinton at @Google last week. https://www.wired.com/...
