Humans have already unlocked the secrets of immortality \u2013 we just can't use it on ourselves, a former top Artificial Intelligence chief has claimed.<\/p>\n

For decades, humans have been trying to unlock the secrets to never-ending life, but the closest the world has ever come to anything looking like immortality was a woman called Jeanne Calment, who was 122 years and 164 days old when she died in 1997. She outlived the second-oldest person, Kane Tanaka, who was 119 years and 107 days old when he died in April, 2022.<\/p>\n

However, according to Google's former AI chief, that could be the closest humans ever come, despite already figuring out immortality \u2013 but only for Artificial Intelligence. Geoffrey Hinton, who quit Google earlier this year, told The Guardian: \u201cIn trying to think about how the brain could implement the algorithm behind all these models, I decided that maybe it can\u2019t \u2013 and maybe these big models are actually much better than the brain. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou pay an enormous cost in terms of energy, but when one of them learns something, all of them know it, and you can easily store more copies. So the good news is, we\u2019ve discovered the secret of immortality \u2013 the bad news is, it\u2019s not for us.\u201d Hinton's comments were made in May, but have since resurfaced at the Government held an AI summit in the UK this week.<\/p>\n

Led by the UK's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, world leaders in AI and tech were there, such as Twitter\/X boss Elon Musk, as well as many of those who key in the tech space from around the world. However, it was snubbed by the President of the United States Joe Biden.<\/p>\n
