The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to two researchers who helped build the foundations of the artificial intelligence that surrounds us today.

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton both worked on machine learning techniques that would go on to power products such as ChatGPT.

Hopfield’s research is carried out at Princeton University and Hinton works at the University of Toronto.

  1. Both scientists have raised the alarm on AI:

    • Hinton, who’s often called the godfather of AI, quit Google last spring after 10+ years, saying he partly regretted his life’s work and urging Big Tech to slow down and assess AI risks. He said yesterday that he still worries about “systems more intelligent than us that eventually take control.”

    Hopfield signed early petitions calling for more regulation and has compared AI to viruses or nuclear power because of the massive potential to help or hurt civilization.

    Well done.
