Scientist and physicist Geoffrey Hinton believes there could be a one in five chance that humanity will eventually be taken over by artificial intelligence. Hinton, a Nobel laureate in physics who's been dubbed the'godfather of AI', made the startling prediction in an April 1 interview with CBS News that was aired on Saturday morning. 'I'm in the unfortunate position of happening to agree with Elon Musk on this, which is that there's a 10 to 20 percent chance that these things will take over, but that's just a wild guess,' Hinton said. Besides his cost-cutting responsibilities in the federal government, Musk is the chief executive of xAI, the company that made the AI chatbot Grok. Musk has said AI will become smarter than the entire human race by 2029.

Vice President Harris appeared stunned by CBS' Margaret Brennan's question about whether she was taking the threat of another Trump presidency "seriously enough." Vice President Kamala Harris appeared stunned by a question from CBS host Margaret Brennan, who wondered if she was taking the possibility of another Donald Trump presidency "seriously enough." Harris looked taken aback, pausing before responding, "I don't understand the question." "You were dismissive of some of the Republican criticism of you and the president. When you look at current polling, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination is the former president, the 45th president," Brennan added on "Face The Nation."

President Trump is smarter than everybody else put together. When somebody who thinks such a thing also happens to be president of the United States, you know that you have come to the end of something or other. We do know we are not at the end of history, because Francis Fukuyama notwithstanding, what history teaches (and maybe the ONLY thing it teaches) is that it keeps going. On top of all the other outrageous aspects of the Trump presidency, we have the absolutely exhausting one of trying daily to disentangle the web of nonsense and distortion being continuously ejected from the Trump spinneret. This will last, alas, as long as the Trump presidency does.

AI's next frontier requires ethics built through policy. With one foot in its science fiction past and the other in the new frontier of science and tech innovations, AI occupies a unique place in our cultural imagination. Will we live into a future where machines are as intelligent -- or frighteningly, more so -- than humans? We have already witnessed AI predict the outcome of the latest U.S. presidential election when many policy wonks failed. Perhaps we are further along than we thought.

In October, then-President Obama hosted the White House Frontiers Conference, which focused on the leading global technologies featured in the November issue of WIRED, which was guest edited by Obama.

In October 2016, President Obama started a public dialogue around the future of artificial intelligence. At the White House Frontiers Conference, hosted in partnership with University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, he shared his vision for AI research. There was also a first-of-its-kind report--Preparing for the Future of Artificial Intelligence--which outlined how the government can be involved in researching, developing, and regulating future technologies. And for Wired magazine, President Obama wrote a guest piece and was interviewed about the future of artificial intelligence. While some experts voiced concern over President Obama's optimism that jobs will not be displaced, and his grasp of the potential dangers of artificial general intelligence, his efforts were largely praised by the AI community.

The site launched about a week ago and the app hasn't even been released yet, but the concept has already proven popular, NBC News reported. Thousands of people have already signed up to nab a spot on the waitlist and this past Friday, the site had 200 sign-up requests an hour. "This is about finding the right partner and not caring if they're on the other side of the border," CEO Joe Goldman explained to The Guardian. "You should go to a place where you'll be happy. For a number of Americans, in the event of a Trump presidency, that place would be Canada."

TORONTO – A dating website is pledging to match Americans who can't live with a Donald Trump presidency to Canadians looking for love, facilitating the pledge often made by U.S. voters to move to Canada if the real estate billionaire is elected. "Maple Match makes it easy for Americans to find the ideal Canadian partner to save them from the unfathomable horror of a Trump presidency," the Maple Match website reads, before offering a waiting list for interested singles. Trump's bombastic campaign to lead the Republican Party to the November presidential election has alarmed some Americans, both liberals and those in his own party, and the pledge by some to move to Canada if he is elected has gathered steam. In February, the island of Cape Breton on Canada's Atlantic coast marketed itself as a tranquil refuge for Americans seeking to escape should Trump capture the White House. The Maple Match website allows users to add their name to a wait list matching dismayed U.S. voters with interested single Canadians, adding "We'll let you know the next steps soon!" Officials with Maple Match did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Chief Executive Joe Goldman told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that more than 10,000 singles and about 2,500 Canadians had signed up for the website's waiting list as of Tuesday morning.
