This interview should be saved as an historical artifact.

Good people, It is happening, the future of work is being redesigned. Yes, More tech companies wants to fire more workers from next week: "The third wave is going to happen next week. That affects everybody in the biz teams, including in my organization. It's just a time of great anxiety and uncertainty" Says Meta President.

Dear CBS, this is the most profound interview with the most profound person of our times. Thank you for this. Edit: I just realized Dr. Hinton cannot sit due to back issues from a long time. I'm just awed by what a man can achieve with such an underlying health condition.

I'm most impressed by the fact that they both stood standing in conversation for 42 minutes.

@CBS This guy needs to interview more people in the AI space. He knows the right questions.

Thank you CBS for presenting an intelligent, long form interview at such an important time in history. The public needs to understand as best they can.

I just bought more of these NVIDIA stock a few minutes ago. Tying up money due to an apocalyptic stock market crash is also not a smart move my advice will be to invest in other AI stocks. Life is a risk and it's better to take risks than to do nothing, you can't always expect to make huge profits all the time, people have so many opinions about a recession/depression. In just 5 months my portfolio grew by $300,000 in gross profit, the main thing is to expand your portfolio and you will see amazing results by investing smartly.

I was so struck by Geoffrey Hinton‘s humanity…which shown through all his thoughtful responses. Thank you for this excellent and enlightening interview.

This is one of the best interviews on the topics of Artificial intelligence, deep learning and language models.

With a brain so large and in a man so confident that he felt totally at ease in answering many questions with "I don't know".. And possessed of no inclination to just wing it. An amazing man.

My team works on Tammy AI to enhance the learning experience on KZfaq. We have since come to the realization that AI needs to be controlled or we risk "unleashing demons".

Hearing this man talk about his thoughts regarding sentience is incredibly cathartic. I've been saying the same thing, and to hear this come from the mouth of an expert is just... just the best.

2:45 - why mainstream AI in the 1980s shunned neural networks 3:21 - Hinton believed in neural networks because the brain worked this way 4:31 - two different paths to intelligence 6:15 - lack of data and compute that impeded deep learning’s progress 8:57 - the start of deep learning in 2006 10:04 - two big deep learning developments: speech recognition at Google and object recognition at University of Toronto 10:49 - how object recognition works in layman’s terms 15:47 - breakthroughs in object recognition influencing the AI community 18:28 - why Hinton likes the company Cohere 19:20 - biological brains vs digital brains 21:39 - ChatGPT as an “idiot savant” with a lack of understanding of truth 24:56 - how society should handle this new AI 30:52 - self-healing minefield proposed by the government 31:43 - how to create an effective autonomous solder and the alignment problem 33:12 - are large language models “just autocomplete”? Are humans “just autocomplete”? 33:52 - translating “The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big” into French. English-French translation and the insights it provides into LLMs’ understanding of the world 35:50 - computers coming up with new ideas for itself 37:00 - AI displacing jobs 38:15 - how big of a revolution is AI? 40:37 - is AI sentient?

This is probably the best interview on the topic I've seen so far. It's one of the rare ones where not just the interviewee is absolutely brilliant, but the interviewer is also brilliant enough to bring that out and give enough space to blossom.

Even if he sometimes cut short Hinton's responses, the interviewer did a good job for a major TV network's science interview. Fortunately, Hinton's appreciation of what a good explanation is, made him just ignore his interruptions and continued with the train of thought of the answer to the original question. Thank you Geoffrey Hinton

For the first time I am dejected that one can upvote a video only once. This interview is a watershed moment in the general public discourse on AI. the credit should go to interviewer as well for coming up with really good questions and also asking right leading questions for the answer Hinton gave. People are going to refer to this video again and again in future. Hands down one of the best interview that I have watched in recent times on this subject.

One of the best interviews of him. Easy for laymen to understand.

I love how real scientists are so humble and they pause to choose the right words, It just fills me with pure admiration.

Your interviewer is terrific. He knows the right questions to ask and how to convey to the layperson. It's a challenging field and he manages to make it understandable. That's the essence of journalism. How to make something difficult, complicated, confusing, easy enough for regular people to understand.

I did not expect to understand this interview that I’ve just stumbled across, so wow what an amazing interview. The amazing mind was skillfully interviewed, big thank you to those who are just excelling in their respective fields which creates this knowledge and new technologies. Fascinating subject and I’m intrigued to learn more.

I was pleasantly surprised by the knowledgeable and well-researched interviewer. Well done!

Interviewer did his research

One of the best interviews I’ve heard in many years. Recommend this interview be shown to all high school students. Our future generations will need to have an understanding of how AI will have an impact on everything we do here on Earth and beyond.

Interview brilliantly conducted by Silva-Braga. The synergy between the two is evident. I imagine the challenge it was for him to prepare for this interview. Impressive!

Listening to professor Hinton speak in such humble, calm, assured, supremely intelligent and knowledgeable sentences excited and filled me with awe. He made a very complex subject intelligible to someone like me who is fascinated yet baffled by the technology. What a gift to Canada that he chose our country to establish himself and share his amazing gifts with us.

38:16 When talking about AI, he said: "I think it's comparable in scale with the Industrial Revolution or electricity electricity maybe the wheel or maybe the wheel..." Wow!

@Geoffrey Hinton I have been watching you having interviews, with different people. Thank you for taking the time, and for breaking down so much complexity into understandable pieces, it creates awareness. Which I think should be our main goal nowadays.

I'm glad to see that he's still alive to see his vision comes true and he was right all along. Great respect for the guy!

I have eternal gratitude to Geoffrey Hinton and Andrew Ng. If it weren't for them, I would have never fallen in love with neural networks in 2013. It was all thanks to their free online lectures on the subjects of machine learning and neural networks that lit a fire that changed the direction of my life. I doubt you'll ever see this comment Geoffrey, but thank you.

Wow! Excellent interview by Brook Silva-Braga from CBS, and extremely insightful responses by Geoffrey Hinton. Very highly recommended to watch.

One of the few mainstream media interviews that has done a service to citizens in a very long time.

Excellent interview, good job. And you created a long enough format to go deeper in certain places and let Geoff explain things in such an accessible way.

3:00 "People thought it was ridiculous" "It sounds a little ridiculous" "It IS a little ridiculous" ... "but it works" Probably the best synopsis of neural networks around tbh.

This is one of the most lucid, in-depth yet accessible technical discussions I have ever seen. Thanks!

Well done Brook, this is the best interview that I have seen with Geoffrey Hinton, your questions are excellent. I have worked in AI for 3 decades.

This man has nothing to prove. No need for arrogance or bragging. Just intelligence. Great to listen to

This interview is so precious because of the fundamentals and the ways to explore them laid out by Hinton. Incredible mind ! It has come at such a critical time as well, definitely one for the archives. 🙏 Also, the interviewer deserves a medal for his brilliant questions 🥇

One of the most honest and open interviews about AI. Thank you! Enlightening and worrying at the same time.

What a great interview! I felt like the reporter was very informed about the subject and asked very relevant questions. And Hinton gave very pedagogical answers. Man I love that guy. I'm also a bit more on his line of trying to understand the brain, or rather, replicating the brain in order to make sure you have understood it, rather than applying machine learning to do a thing really well although with tons of computational resources. I kind of feel like the recent development in AI is a bit depressing. I didn't think it would be this soon before we got a company that tried to monopolize AI.

Soon one of the most vital interviews of this era. We need a follow up now that he’s quit only a short period afterwards.

Hats off to the interviewer. Did his homework and it paid off big time. Brilliant interview.

One of my favourite things about Hinton: he isn’t afraid to say “I don’t know”

A man with moral compass

Freaking amazing. They covered 40 years of AI in 40 minutes.

Thank you CBS. This is a gem of an interview; the interviewed asked intelligent questions to Geoffrey Hinton and gave him time to elaborate his answers.

The highest level of expertise within a field is to be able to explain complex ideas simply, so that the ones who are outside that field can understand easily. He makes it sound simple.

Just a reminder it takes an exceptional interviewer to have an exceptional interview

So this was filmed a month or so before Hinton resigned from Google. He seems pretty happy and unconcerned in this interview The big question is what has happened since for him to resign.

This man is a fresh mind in the current dialogue about AI. A true researcher that knows the weight of his work. He needs more exposition so he can really educate people, but I guess that would be another job, too much to ask. What I know is that we need more people like him. Integrity.

Geoffrey Hinton seems like one of those rare souls who are both intelligent and wise.

I’m impressed with the interviewer’s balance in when to challenge and when it let go and move on. You’re an artist in case you didn’t know

This was a magnificent interview. Props for taking the time and major props to the interviewer as well. Great follow ups and questions overall. Give this man a raise.

This was a very educational video on AI. It does show what we don't know. Dr. Geoffrey Hinton is a great scientist.

Thank you for this interview of this gentleman. He deserves it. It's great to see his thoughts on the matter.

A fantastic long form interview and conversation. Well done.

Given that he’s just quit Google (1st May 2023), I think we can safely assume that all the safety measures that he said Google was going to implement at launch, he was trying to convince them of - and Google refused! See 24:12 to 24:55

Here is a great interview explaining Neural Networks vs AI (logic trees) history and Chat GTP). For those who didn't know my Dad, Jack Voevodsky, we went to the first Neural Net trade show in 1986 in San Diego, where my Dad demonstrated “Aristotle” (and I filmed the video). His company was also 1 of 4 listed in companies to watch in Newsweek called Neurotech. Sadly, he died in 1989 and never got to see his dream come true. His Stanford PHD was in Cybernetics - showing a mathematical model of a Neural Network of an Aplysia (a genus of medium-sized to extremely large sea slugs.) He was far ahead of his time, probably ahead of this guy with a commercial product) by a few years.

More importantly than any of this, I hope this man is on the panels making these choices on how to use AI. He has care & concern for humanity unlike military leaders & global elite where humans are thought of as fodder. We need those who understand the tech as well as a person who cares for humanity at the forefront on how to implement these advances.

Brook Silva-Braga is an incredible interviewer. Wow.

I loved this conversation!! Both are great!!! Thank very for sharing🎉🎉🎉 Your values!!

This is one of the few people in the world you can trust with developing an AGI and not having to fear he deliberately uses it against humanity and for his own good, a true scientist, his biggest goal in life is to gain knowledge.

i absolutely love Dr. Hinton, so humble, kind and absolutely amazing teacher, student and absolute expert. a confucian level example of don't change your goals only make adjustments to your plan.

Respect and love, thank you both.

really interesting and straightforward interview. I feel Hinton is a man of great mind and great humility.

The mark of true intelligence is the ability to explain complexity with simplicity which Geoffrey Hinton does..

Now THAT is how to conduct an interview. I could listen to Hinton all day long

I just want to say that it should be "must have" quality for all scientists to be empathetic and have moral ethics. I'm just a medical doctor not an engineer or IT specialist but it was very interesting and engaging to listen to this talk. That you very much!

Now understand that for years all of us confirming "traffic light" or "bicycle" or "bridge" in those recaptcha images for security reasons was actually everyone training models to confirm what parts of an image in pixels was something or wasn't something. The public trained it and didn't know they were. :)

it is refreshing to hear him

This is such a fascinating interview! So much more in depth than you see on this type of program! Much better than the snippets you usually get!

Kudos to CBS for this amazing conversation! Well done!

Literally jumped my comprehension from 25 to 75 with this interview 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Great choice of an interviewer. Knew just enough to probe correctly without trying to stomp over the answers to demonstrate his knowledge and impress the interviewee. Not what I was expecting going into this.

What a brilliant man. The use of extensive model description and opinions shared in this video was amazing. Loved every moment of it thanks you CBS.

This is superb a gem in today's world of AI loved the way he explains the concept with simpler examples

What a great interview. Loved every minute of it.

Excellent commentary/answers by Dr. Hinton! Refreshingly realistic and clear discussion of AI with a cogent discussion of the history of AI, clear concerns about its possible misuse (i.e., military applications) , etc. Thanks for agreeing to do this!

Got to admire this professor, not only for his brain, but also for his mind.

Fantastic interview. Hugely informative. Thank you.

Brilliant interviewer. Truly professional journalism. Brava.

What an excellent interview! Thank you Brook Silva-Braga. I love hearing the insights of the old souls who have been at this topical topic 😘 for decades

Such a great mind, compassionate, humble, ethical human being with the heart and mind at the right place. I applaud you Mr. Hinton 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing interview. Great job.

Such a calm lovely intelligent person 😊 I enjoyed this interview he reminds me of my dad

Excellent interview! If I may add, Dr. Hinton was PhD thesis supervisor of Ilya Sutskever, chief scientist at OpenAI - and a Turing Award winner himself.

From everyone disregarding this man in 80s to being the pioneer of next human advancements impacting generations - life has come full circle for the Godfather.

I think the only way to solve the alignment problem is to “socialize” the AI, based on real or simulated human interactions. Just like a child learns how to function in the real world, step-by-step, by interacting with their parents, siblings, teachers, etc.. Learning how to get along with people, and especially learning to _care about people_

He is amazingly good at explaining this stuff in simple terms.

This is one of the best interviews on the topics of Artificial intelligence, deep learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and language models.

This is phenomenal and so eye opening. I like how he puts it, very easy to understand.

Thanks. The interviewer was great. And, of course, a great interviewee.

Brilliant and grounded at the same time!

this is by far the best interview I've heard on the subject matter and I've watched a lot of them on KZfaq. more should be like this

The fact they stood for the whole interview is more amazing than AI itself..

This interview left me with beautiful insights about the brewing technology that could take a lead in taking adversaries.

super well informed interviewer! EXCELLENT JOB. PERFECT QUESTIONS.

Really great interview- and appreciate that the interviewer knew a lot about the subject and the talent. One of the best interviews and most valuable videos I have seen on the whole subject - so good job and 100 points to the journalist. If all journalists in all, subject matters were at this level, the average knowledge of the whole planet would increase by 10points (giving us an extra 5mins before A.I. takes over)

Ilya Sutskever has over 100k academic references(citations) to his name. The guy is a giant in the field & it’s because of this great man.

Very Insightful conversation

Great interview!
