The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to two scientists for developing the methods which lay the foundations for today’s powerful AI.

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton received the prestigious award for ‘foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.’

John Hopfield, of Princeton University, invented the first methods which allowed machine learning systems to save and recreate patterns.

Geoffrey Hinton, of the University of Toronto, gave these networks the ability to find specific properties, allowing them to complete tasks like recognising elements in pictures.

Together, these scientists’ discoveries paved the way for the artificial neural networks which power modern chatbots such as ChatGPT.
