After ten years at the company. The reason he cited is a conflict of interest caused by his status as a Google employee and his desire to talk about the risks of AI.
Jeffrey Hinton spent most of his life working in AI-related research, but he was also concerned about the negative impact his research could have on humanity. Earlier today, he posted the following message on Twitter: “On the NYT today, Cade Metz hinted that I left Google to criticize Google. I left to be able to talk about Google acting very responsibly.”
In the past, Hinton has petitioned against military funding for artificial intelligence projects and against lethal autonomous weapons. That’s when the tech giant bought DNNresearch Inc. His startup focused on machine learning for image recognition. His work continued under Google and had a major impact on things like the search engine’s photo search function.
This Wednesday, in his first post-retirement interview, he speaks to MIT Technology Review at EmTech Digital. He will most likely take this opportunity to update his outdated predictions about the future of AI in light of the latest developments in the field.

As a student, I hated writing and having to make up stories. Ten years later, I started enjoying it. Since then, I have published several offline articles before moving to the online space, contributing to major websites such as Softpedia, Brothersoft and Download3000 that are still online as of 2021, but multiple blogs that have disappeared. I also wrote an article on Over the years. I’ve been in his Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and have no plans to quit anytime soon. I love good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sounds, but also smartphones, streaming services and digital art.
