Geoffrey Hinton, widely called the Godfather of AI, co-won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics alongside John Hopfield for his foundational work on artificial neural networks. The footage is from his official Nobel Banquet speech in Stockholm on December 10, 2024. Hinton used his acceptance speech to warn world leaders about real risks, from autonomous lethal weapons and cybercrime to the existential threat of superintelligent systems built by companies prioritizing short-term profits.
