Hi, I'm Geoffrey Hinton.

00:00:02.193 --> 00:00:04.415 align:center
I've spent my life developing learning

00:00:04.495 --> 00:00:05.896 align:center
algorithms for neural networks.

00:00:06.377 --> 00:00:08.279 align:center
And neural networks are now at

00:00:08.319 --> 00:00:09.960 align:center
the core of artificial intelligence.

00:00:10.561 --> 00:00:12.142 align:center
AI is now transforming the world

00:00:12.202 --> 00:00:13.103 align:center
in remarkable ways.

00:00:13.404 --> 00:00:14.685 align:center
And as we build more powerful

00:00:14.745 --> 00:00:17.467 align:center
systems, it's very important we figure

00:00:17.527 --> 00:00:18.648 align:center
out how to keep them safe.

00:00:19.109 --> 00:00:20.770 align:center
There's many different risks from AI.

00:00:21.151 --> 00:00:22.212 align:center
There's short-term risks.

00:00:22.732 --> 00:00:24.473 align:center
of things like cyber attacks, and

00:00:24.493 --> 00:00:26.794 align:center
there's long-term risks of things like

00:00:26.954 --> 00:00:28.875 align:center
AI itself taking over from people.

00:00:29.296 --> 00:00:31.657 align:center
The AI Safety Foundation was created

00:00:31.877 --> 00:00:33.098 align:center
to think about the risks of

00:00:33.178 --> 00:00:35.979 align:center
AI in a scientific and solutions-oriented

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:36.259 align:center
way.

00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:39.141 align:center
That's why we're launching the Canadian

00:00:39.181 --> 00:00:41.702 align:center
Journalism Foundation Hinton Award for

00:00:41.822 --> 00:00:42.303 align:center
Excellence

00:00:42.323 --> 00:00:44.364 align:center
in AI Safety Reporting, which will

00:00:44.404 --> 00:00:46.665 align:center
honour journalism that deepens public

00:00:46.705 --> 00:00:47.345 align:center
understanding

00:00:47.365 --> 00:00:48.686 align:center
of the risks of AI and

00:00:48.726 --> 00:00:49.847 align:center
its impact on society.
