Forbes October 8, 2024
Geoffrey Hinton from University of Toronto and John Hopfield from Princeton University both received this year’s Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for their research in the field of artificial intelligence. Specifically, the duo was recognized for their foundational work in neural networks, which laid the groundwork for today’s large language models and generative AI.
Hinton And His Work Developing Backpropagation
Hinton is widely recognized as the godfather of artificial intelligence, and he made headlines last year when he quit working for Google so he could more freely speak against the risks of AI — a technology he played a significant role in creating.
Hinton was instrumental in developing a technique in the. ’80s called backpropagation, which enables algorithms to learn....
