Geoff Hinton and John Hopfield win Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in foundational AI
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 has been award to Geoff Hinton and John Hopfield for their foundational work in AI.
More specifically, Hinton and Hopfield were given the award for “ foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” Earlier this year, Google Deepmind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis was awarded a knighthood in the U.K. for “services to artificial intelligence.” He has often been referred to as the “godfather of deep learning.” After gaining a PhD in artificial intelligence in 1978, Hinton went on to co-create the backpropagation algorithm, a method that allows neural networks to learn from their mistakes, transforming how AI models are trained.
