Zhou Hongyi: This Nobel Prize in Physics has great significance and far-reaching impact

[ Gearbest Technology News]At 5 pm on October 8, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced. John Hopfield from the United States and Hinton from Canada won. The official reason for the award is in recognition of their “fundamental discoveries and inventions in machine learning based on artificial neural networks.” Alan Munns, chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics, said at the end, “The work of both of them has brought huge benefits. In physics, we use artificial neural networks very extensively, for example to develop new materials with specific properties.”

The presentation of this award attracted widespread attention. Zhou Hongyi, chairman of 360, also expressed his views. He believes that the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to computer science and artificial intelligence has far-reaching significance and iconic impact.

Zhou Hongyi pointed out that from the perspective of Nobel Prize reviewers, they may have begun to believe that cutting-edge research in physics cannot rely solely on human efforts and requires the power of AI. He mentioned that one of the most important abilities of AI is “illusion”, which may lead to new creative discoveries and promote human evolution. This view caused people to think deeply.

Zhou Hongyi further said that the future development of all disciplines is inseparable from AI. Therefore, he predicted that awards in biology, chemistry, mathematics and other sciences may also be awarded to computer scientists in the future and to people who have contributed to the AI ​​industry. This is because AI for Science represents a trend in the future, and breakthroughs in various scientific fields may require the promotion of AI. AI will become an important tool for human scientific research.

“In the future, people who engage in AI will not only win the Nobel Prize in Physics, but also the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and the Nobel Prize in Biology,” Zhou Hongyi said. He emphasized that AI is changing the world, and the first thing it will change is the way Nobel Prizes are awarded.
