There is a UK company called Profit Crunch Ltd that is fraudulent. They claim i am a director and use my reputation to reassure investors. They are crooks. I have nothing to do with them. They also forged my signature on an insurance certificate.

The way it attends to relevant parts of the visual input seems almost human, though its attending in parallel as well as sequentially.

Yann LeCun thinks the risk of AI taking over is miniscule. This means he puts a big weight on his own opinion and a miniscule weight on the opinions of many other equally qualified experts.

Fei-Fei Li has written a book. She was the first computer vision researcher to truly understand the power of big data and her work opened the floodgates for deep learning. She delivers a clear-eyed account of the awesome potential and danger of AI.

I suspect that Andrew Ng and Yann LeCun have missed the main reason why the big companies want regulations. Years ago the founder of a self-driving company told me that he liked safety regulations because if you satisfied them it reduced your legal liability for accidents.

The University of Toronto made a video for a non technical audience in which I explain how deep learning works, the enormous promise of this technology and some of the potential risks. youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY

Dishonest CBC headline:
'Canada's AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton says AI could wipe out humans. In the meantime, there's money to be made'.
The second sentence was said by a journalist, not me, but you wouldn't know that.

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.
