  1. “Professor Hinton, often called the ‘godfather of AI’ made waves last year when he stepped down from Google because of his concerns about the technology.

    In an interview with the New York Times, he said he sometimes regretted his life’s work.

    Professor Hinton developed artificial neural networks that helped “initiate the current explosive development of machine learning,” according to the awarding body, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

    “Machine learning based on artificial neural networks is currently revolutionising science, engineering and daily life.”
