Youth support for socialism spikes

History keeps repeating when people forget what it cost.

The “godfather of AI” has a reality check for CEOs.

Geoffrey Hinton, the British-Canadian Nobel Prize winner for his contributions to machine learning, joined Sen. Bernie Sanders for a discussion at Georgetown University on Tuesday about “the promise and the peril” of AI.

Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, kicked off the discussion by asking whether multibillionaires like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, and Larry Ellison, a cofounder of Oracle, have considered the impact on working-class people when making enormous investments in AI and robotics.

“They should be, but I don’t think they are,” Hinton said in response, “And I think many of them haven’t really absorbed canes, that if the workers don’t get paid, there’s nobody to buy their products, and they haven’t really thought through the massive social disruption we’ll get if we get very high unemployment.”
