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.

Hey Geoffrey. You originally predicted AI would become smarter than a human in 30-50 years. Now, you say it will happen much sooner. How soon?
I now predict 5 to 20 years but without much confidence. We live in very uncertain times. It's possible that I am totally wrong about digital intelligence overtaking us. Nobody really knows which is why we should worry now.

Thank you for your work. I agree because of the uncertainty we need to discuss things now and make sure we use AI responsibly and ethically so that we can ensure that it benefits us rather than harms us.

As hardware, CPU power become more powerful, so will AI, that can change its own programming and run faster, so its understandable it will get smarter.. But that smartness is driven by technology, not biology.
That is because human intelligences are getting down faster and faster, as foreseen, very simple in fact , API took the space all around human life .That's happened already to dinosaurus two thousand millions years ago from météorites falling down on the head
