As artificial intelligence explodes in popularity, two of its pioneers have nabbed the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics.
The prize goes to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm announced October 8. These computational tools, which seek to mimic the functioning of the human brain, underlie technologies like image recognition algorithms, large language models including ChatGPT, soccer-playing robots and more (SN: 2/1/24; SN: 5/24/24).
