The 2024 Nobel Prize in physics ____ to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their “foundational discoveries” that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks. Although computers cannot think, machines can now mimic functions such as memory and learning. This year’s laureates in physics ____ make this possible,” the Nobel Committee said in a statement. The committee announced the prestigious honor, seen as the pinnacle of scientific achievement, in Sweden on Monday. The prize ____ a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million). “Using fundamental concepts and methods from physics, they ____ technologies that brain-like structures in networks to process information,” the committee said. Due to their research the development of machine learning ____ over the past two decades, it added. “It ____ comparable with the industrial revolution. But instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it’s going to exceed people in intellectual ability. We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us,” the commettee said. Thanks to the laureates’ work, AI ____ already part of our daily lives,” from facial recognition to language translation, said Ellen Moons, chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics. Hinton, from his side, warned that AI “knows how to program so it’ll figure out ways of ____ restrictions we put on it. It’ll figure out ways of manipulating people to do what it wants.”
