The Godfather of AI thinks the technology could invent its own language that we can't understand | As of now, AI thinks in English, meaning developers can track its thoughts — but that could change. His warning comes as the White House proposes limiting AI regulation.


Geoffrey Hinton, the 'Godfather of AI,' warns that AI could create its own language, raising concerns about understanding its actions and thoughts.

As of now, AI does "chain of thought" reasoning in English, meaning developers can track what the technology is thinking, Hinton explained on an episode of the "One Decision" podcast that aired July 24. Hinton, who spent more than a decade at Google, is an outspoken about the potential dangers of AI and has said that most tech leaders publicly downplay the risks, which he thinks include mass job displacement. On July 23, the White House released an " AI Action Plan" that proposes limiting AI-related funding to states with "burdensome" regulations.
