> Geoff Hinton /left his job/ at Google because he sees the risks as real, so I think that's a tough case to make.

He did not leave his job when the bias and harm of the existing I models at Google were doing.

He did not quit his job when Google fired their AI ethics champion rather than change their behaviour

Has he had anything to say about the harm Google's algorithms do?

At least that's what he says. Maybe he got an unspecified offer to be the high priest of a to-be influential 'AI safety' organization. In my opinion, just like with the Patriot Act we are seeing a new world order trying to come into being. Come a decade, the few who bother and can learn about what transpires in the near future, will be shaking their heads at present humanity, asking how could we be so stupid and naive.
