Nobel Prize-winning AI ‘grandfather’ Hinton: I regret what I did.

Geoffrey Hinton, one of two scientists working in the field of artificial intelligence who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics announced today, resigned from his position at Google, saying that work in this field was becoming increasingly dangerous and that he regretted the model he developed.

As in every area of ​​our lives, this year's Nobel Prizes were 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 made machine learning possible with artificial neural networks."

John Hopfield is a name that works on artificial neural networks. His article published in 1982 is groundbreaking in this respect.

The work of artificial neural networks, which schematizes the brain's principles of storing and retrieving information from memory, is known as the "Hopfield Network".

This schema has been of great benefit in the development of machine learning.

The artificial intelligence applications that John Hopfield produced in the academic field have shaped the principles of learning information.

They call him the "grandfather of artificial intelligence"

Geoffrey Hinton is a name that shapes artificial intelligence studies from the inside, not only with his academic studies, but also by taking on roles in technology companies.

They even call him the "grandfather of artificial intelligence".

Yes, Hinton is now the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. The fact that he was awarded this prize for his work on artificial intelligence and that he himself regrets these works creates an interesting contradiction.

The fact that even someone like Hinton, who is considered a master of these works, approaches the studies with such hesitation shows that humanity is really playing with a dangerous toy in artificial intelligence studies
