John Hopfield, Geoffrey Hinton named recipients of Nobel Prize in Physics for 2024
By MYBRANDBOOK
John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton have been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries and inventions that formed the building blocks of machine learning. Hopfield's research is carried out at Princeton University, while Hinton works at the University of Toronto.
The Nobel committee said in a press release that this year's two Nobel Laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today's powerful machine learning.
Hinton has been widely credited as a godfather of AI and made headlines when he quit his job at Google last year to be able to more easily speak about the dangers of the technology he had pioneered.
"We have no experience of what it's like to have things smarter than us," Hinton said over the phone from California to the Nobel press conference .
"It's going to be wonderful in many respects, in areas like healthcare," Hinton said. "But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences. Particularly the threat of these things getting out of control."
The physics prize carries a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor (USD 1 million) from a bequest left by the award's creator, Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. It has been awarded 117 times. The laureates are invited to receive their awards at ceremonies on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
