Geoffrey Hinton, known as the Godfather of AI, has moved on from Google. Hinton told the New York Times about his decision and how he was regretting his work.
In a tweet, Hinton said that the reason to quit Google was to "talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google".
He was with the tech major for over a decade.
In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.
