AI innovators win Nobel Prize for physics
美加人工智能先驱获2024诺贝尔物理学奖
John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton have won the physics Nobel Prize for formative work on artificial intelligence that has helped drive scientific advances but raised fears about the risks of abuse.
约翰•霍普菲尔德(John Hopfield)和杰弗里•欣顿(Geoffrey Hinton)因在人工智能(AI)领域的开创性工作而获得今年的诺贝尔物理学奖。他们的研究成果推动了科学进步，但也引发人们对滥用风险的担忧。
Hopfield and Hinton won the SKr11mn ($1.06mn) prize for “foundational discoveries and inventions” in machine learning dating back to the 1980s, the Nobel Assembly said. Their work helped develop so-called artificial neural networks that mimic the biological wiring of the human brain to process information.
诺贝尔奖大会表示，霍普菲尔德和欣顿因在机器学习领域做出的“基础性发现和发明”而获得1100万瑞典克朗（合106万美元）的奖金。两人从上世纪80年代起进行这方面的研究，他们的研究成果帮助开发了所谓的人工神经网络，这种网络模仿人类大脑中的神经元网络来处理信息。
