Artificial intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton and co-laureate John Hopfield have received the Nobel Prize for physics at a ceremony in Stockholm.
The accolade was bestowed on the pair of computer scientists Tuesday by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden after a presentation by Nobel physics committee chair Ellen Moons.
"Today, artificial neural networks are powerful tools in research fields spanning physics, chemistry and medicine, as well as in daily life." "It was a lot of fun doing the research but it was slightly annoying that many people — in fact, most people in the field of AI — said that neural networks would never work," Hinton recalled during an October press conference on the day he was named as a Nobel laureate.
Hinton and Hopfield will split the money, with some of Hinton's share going to Water First, an Ontario organization working to boost Indigenous access to water, and another unnamed charity supporting neurodiverse young adults.
