Description
American John Hopfield and British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for pioneering work in the development of machine learning. Speaking on the phone during the press conference held in Stockholm, Geoffrey Hinton says the work "will have a huge influence. It will be comparable with the Industrial Revolution". "I am worried that the overall consequence of this might be systems more intelligent than us that eventually take control," he adds. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
