Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where Canada's top comedic minds go head to head on topics that might not be top of mind yet. This week we famously ask a pretty rich question. Is it better to be rich or famous? Get ready for a wealth of wit from two of our country's most well-known, if not most well-paid, jokers. Listen to this week's episode of The Debaters wherever you get your podcasts.
This is a CBC podcast. Welcome to Ideas. I'm Nala Ayed. So, while I was working at Google in the spring of 2023, I had something like an epiphany.
Geoffrey Hinton, so-called godfather of artificial intelligence. I realized that the kind of digital intelligences we were developing might be superior to biological intelligence. Hinton quit his work on AI for Google in 2023. Shortly afterwards, he delivered a lecture at his alma mater, the University of Cambridge. I decided to shout fire, he said at the time.
