Will the chatbox become smarter than human in the future? This is what Geoffrey E. Hinton, who is also called the Godfather of AI (Artificial Intelligence), says.
Geoffrey E. Hinton: Godfather of AI
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Geoffrey E. Hinton and John J. Hopfield, who made significant contributions in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Geoffrey Hinton is called the Godfather of AI. He wrote a research paper on deep learning in 2006, in which he introduced the concept of “Deep Belief Network”. This research became a milestone for AI and gave machines the ability to learn through data. Hinton, along with his students, developed a neural network that could identify dogs, cats and other objects by analyzing thousands of photographs. He joined Google in 2012 and contributed to the development of AI, but decided to leave Google in 2023 and warn about the potential dangers of AI.
John J. Hopfield: Development of Artificial Networks
John Hopfield developed artificial neural networks using the principles of physics. He explained the process of associative memory, which processes and retrieves information like human memory. Hopfield created an artificial network of nodes that can mimic human thinking. He received this honor at the age of 91, making him the oldest Nobel laureate.
Foundation of modern technologies
The contributions of these two scientists have given a new dimension to artificial intelligence, making the development of modern technologies like ChatGPT possible. Their work will prove to be a guide in future technological development, and will create many new opportunities for the use of AI in the times to come. Their discoveries have the potential to bring changes not only in the field of science, but also in society.
