AI ‘godfather’ Geoffrey Hinton issues red alert, says ‘AI can take lots of jobs’

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) being adopted on a large scale by industries, Geoffrey Hinton, known as the AI godfather turns the tables saying “AI can be taking lots of mundane jobs.” He believes a universal basic income might be the solution.

According to Hinton, AI will boost productivity and generate more wealth. However, unless the government intervenes, it can make the rich richer and hurt the people who might lose their jobs.
