Economic Trends June 30, 2025 Jorma Erkkilä Geoffrey Hinton, often called the "Godfather of AI," is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of artificial intelligence. This British-Canadian cognitive and computer scientist is a pioneer of neural networks and the founder of modern deep learning. His work, including the development of the backpropagation algorithm and the breakthrough with the AlexNet model, has earned him awards such as the Turing Award, often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of computing." In 2024, Hinton received the Nobel Prize in Physics alongside John J. Hopfield for their fundamental discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks. Hinton left Google in 2023 to speak more openly about the risks associated with the rapid development of AI. His previous optimism about AI has turned into deep concern. AI May Create Its Own Dangerous Goals Hinton now warns that the accelerating development of AI brings ...
