Geoffrey Hinton believes AI will greatly change the world, both in good and bad ways. He thinks AI can solve big problems, like improving healthcare and helping fight climate change. However, he is also worried that AI could become too powerful, be misused, or even harm jobs and security if not carefully controlled.
Students might agree with his concerns if they believe AI should be used responsibly and that strict rules are needed to prevent harm. Others might disagree if they see AI as mostly positive and think its benefits, like new jobs and better technology, will outweigh the risks. Their views will depend on how they see the balance between AI’s potential and its dangers.
