“Hinton received one of his highest honors in 2024 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics ‘for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.’ Upon learning about being recognized for such an award, Hinton made sure to alert people that more research should be put into keeping AI under control.
‘I think it’s very important right now for people to be working on the issue of how will we keep control?’ Hinton noted during an interview with The Nobel Prize. ‘We need to put a lot of research effort into it. I think one thing governments can do is force the big companies to spend a lot more of their resources on safety research.’”
