(Image credit: Getty Images) AI is growing faster than we ever imagined and some worry it might soon be smarter than us and out of control. It turns out, though, that the Godfathers of AI disagree on at least one of these points.On one side, we have former Google scientist Dr. Geoffrey Hinton warning that we’re going too fast and AIs could ruin everything from jobs to truth. On the other side, we find Meta’s Yann LeCun.Both scientists once worked together on Deep Learning advancements that would change the world of AI and triggered the flurry of advancements in AI algorithms and large language models that brought us to this fraught moment.Hinton delivered his warning earlier this year to The New York Times. Fellow Turing Award-winner LeCun largely countered Hinton and defended AI development in a wide-ranging interview with Wired’s Steve Levy.”People are exploiting the fear about the technology, and we’re running the risk of scaring people away from it,” LeCun told Levy.LeCun’s argument, which in its TLDR form is something making to, “Don’t worry, embrace AI,” breaks down into a few key components that may or may not make you think differently.Open is goodI particularly enjoyed LeCun’s open-source argument. He told Levy that if you accept that AI may end up sitting b… Click below to read the full story from TechRadar
