Mark 1333 | 'Godfather of AI' shares Nobel Physics Prize (Global) 8/Oct/2024 @Mark1333 | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to two scientists, Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield, for their work on machine learning.
British-Canadian Professor Hinton is sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of AI" and said he was flabbergasted.
He resigned from Google in 2023, and has warned about the dangers of machines that could outsmart humans.
The announcement was made by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences at a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden.
American Professor John Hopfield, 91, is a professor at Princeton University in the US, and Prof Hinton, 76, is a professor at University of Toronto in Canada.
Machine learning is key to artificial intelligence as it develops how a computer can train itself to generate information.
It drives a vast range of technology that we use today from how we search the internet to editing photographs on our phones.
“I had no idea this would happen. I'm very surprised,” said Prof Hinton, speaking on the phone to the Academy minutes after the announcement.
He said he was in a hotel with bad internet in California and thought he might need to cancel the rest of his day's plans.
The Academy listed some of the crucial applications of the two scientists’ work, including improving climate modelling, development of solar cells, and analysis of medical images.
