AI Nobel Prize-winning 'grandfather' Hinton: I regret my actions.
Geoffrey Hinton, one of two scientists working on artificial intelligence who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics announced today, has resigned from his position at Google, saying that work in the field has become increasingly dangerous and that he regrets the model he developed.
As in every other area of ââour lives, this year's Nobel Prize is marked by "Artificial Intelligence."
The Nobel Prize committee announced that it had deemed two scientists, John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton, worthy of the physics prize "for their fundamental discoveries and inventions that have made machine learning possible with artificial neural networks."
John Hopfield is the name of the work on artificial neural networks. His paper published in 1982 was a breakthrough in this regard.
The work on artificial neural networks, which schematizes the principles of the brain in storing and retrieving information from memory, is known as a "Hopfield network."
This scheme has been very useful in the development of machine learning. The application of artificial intelligence produced by John Hopfield in the academic field has shaped the principles of information learning.
They call him the "grandfather of artificial intelligence"
Geoffrey Hinton is a name that has shaped the study of artificial intelligence from the inside, not only with his academic studies, but also by taking roles in technology companies.
They even call him the "grandfather of artificial intelligence".
Yes, Hinton is now a Nobel Prize winner in Physics. The fact that he was awarded this prize for his work in the field of artificial intelligence and that he himself regrets these works creates an interesting contradiction.
The fact that even someone like Hinton, who is considered an expert in these works, approaches the study with such skepticism shows that humans are indeed playing with dangerous toys in the study of artificial intelligence.
