MONTREAL: Rapid developments in artificial intelligence – and recent turmoil at industry powerhouse OpenAI – have brought fresh attention to a key hub of ethics research related to the technology in Montreal, led by Canadian “godfather of AI” Yoshua Bengio.
Bengio – who in 2018 shared with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun the Turing Award for their work on deep learning – says he is worried about the technology leapfrogging human intelligence and capabilities in the not-too-distant future.
