The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield for their groundbreaking work on artificial neural networks. Hinton, often called the “godfather of artificial intelligence,” suggests that AI will soon surpass human intelligence. What does this mean for healthcare?
The trick of mimicking the human brain
John Hopfield, professor emeritus at Princeton University (US), and Geoffrey Hinton, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto (Canada), were awarded for “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” The scientists’ early work became the backbone of generative AI systems like ChatGPT or Gemini. Notably, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was one of Hinton’s students.
Their journey with AI began in the 1980s....
