ChatGPT's Record Launch — and the Godfather Who Now Fears AI | THE THINKING MACHINE Pt 5 Finale

Business Onion · 2:28

In 2022, a small lab called OpenAI took Google's own free invention — the Transformer — and shipped what Google wouldn't. On November 30th, ChatGPT launched as a "low-key research preview." Instead it became the fastest-spreading technology in history: 1 million users in 5 days, 100 million in two months — a pace nothing had ever matched. Inside Google, the CEO declared a company-wide "code red," called the founders out of retirement, and rushed out Bard, which stumbled on day one. And then the man who started it all — Geoffrey Hinton, mocked for decades, now called the godfather of AI — left Google in 2023 so he could warn the world about the dangers of the very thing he'd spent his life building. The thinking machine is finally here. Whether that's a triumph or a warning, we're still finding out. The complete series. Thanks for watching — follow for more.
