This handout photo taken and released by the Office of Communications of Princeton University on October 8, 2024 shows US physicist, molecular biologist and neuroscientist John J Hopfield posing for a photo in Princeton, United States. Geoffrey Hinton, known at the Godfather of AI, and physicist John Hopfield won the Nobel physics prize on October 8, 2024 for their pioneering work on the foundations of artificial intelligence. The pair's research on neural networks in the 1980s paved the way for technology that promises to revolutionise society but has also raised apocalyptic fears.
