We all pretend to understand AI but Dr. Geoffrey Hinton actually does. He’s been dubbed the “Godfather of AI” for half-century of work on machine learning and neural networks. 

So what does this Nobel Prize-winning Al Pacino make of our AI age? Is this an industrial revolution, or the start of something more alien? How does AI … even work? Is it more neuroplastic than a baby's brain? How far away is super intelligence? Can’t we just unplug the thing off like Jack Bauer in 24, or will it manipulate and blackmail us before we can do that? And, oh, are the Swedish meatballs served at the Nobel Prize reception actually tasty?

AI, says Hinton is a “know-it-all,” but Nayeema definitely isn’t: she asks the “dumb” questions we all have about this new weird world of AI to Geoffrey Hinton, the Turing Award winner, 2024 Physics Nobel Laureate and Professor Emeritus at University of Toronto. In the process, we all get a lot smarter.
