“We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us,“ Hinton said over the phone to the Nobel press conference, speaking from a hotel in California. “This year’s two Nobel Laureates in physics have used tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning,“ the academy said in a statement.
Hinton also said he regretted some of his research, but that he acted on the information he had at the time. Hopfield, whose parents were both physicists, said in a video posted online by the Franklin Institute when he won the 2019 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics that he had never considered being anything but a scientist or engineer.
