“The two winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics used tools from physics develop methods that form the basis of today’s powerful machine learning systems”, the jury indicated in a statement.

Hopfield, 91, a professor at Princeton University, and Hinton, 76, a professor at the University of Toronto, were honored “for their fundamental discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks.”
They both worked on that topic. since the 80s.
Las artificial neural networks They are inspired by the network of neurons in the human brain.
“The 2024 winners used fundamental concepts from statistical physics to design artificial neural networks They function as associative memories and find patterns in large data sets“Ellen Moons, president of the Nobel committee for physics, told the press.
These artificial neural networks They have been used to advance research in fields as diverse as particle physics, materials science and astrophysics, and have become part of our daily lives, he added.

“I’m amazed. I didn’t imagine this could happen,” Hinton reacted.
Hinton acknowledged that it is a passionate user of AI tools like ChatGPT, but he also admitted it they are worried about the possible repercussions of the technology that contributed to its birth.
The Nobel Prize for physics is the second Nobel Prize of the season, after the one for medicine awarded on Monday to American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun.
The two Americans were awarded for the discovery of microRNA and its role in genetic regulation.
ANDLast year he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics French-Swedish style Anne L’Huillierin French Pietro Agostini and Austro-Hungarian Ferenc Krausz for his research into tools for exploring electrons inside atoms and molecules.
Awards season continues this week with the announcement of the winner or winners Wednesday the Nobel Prize for Chemistry followed by the long-awaited Prizes for Literature on Thursday and Peace prizes on Friday.
The Prize of The economy will close the season Monday 14 October.
Awarded since 1901, the Nobel Prizes honor those who, in the words of prize creator and scientist Alfred Nobel, “they have conferred the greatest benefit on humanity.”
The Nobel Prize winner receives a check for 1 million Swedish crowns (more than 970,000 euros or one million dollars).
