Jeffrey Hinton, dubbed the "godfather of artificial intelligence," said after leaving his job at Google, that he regrets the huge role he has played in the development of AI technology. Hinton recently left his position at Google after a decade-long career at a time when the race to develop AI-powered chatbots is intensifying.

He said he left Google so he could "talk about the dangers of AI without thinking about how it affects Google," adding that "Google acted very responsibly"
