Geoffrey Hinton is an American computer scientist and cognitive psychologist. His contributions to neural networks are well-known, which enable machines make decisions. Since 2013, he has worked for Google.
Geoffrey Hinton is a global leader in deep learning
Geoffrey Hinton, a University of Toronto team member, and his first attempt at neural networks were unsuccessful. The huge data sets meant that they were unable to train the algorithms correctly. Supervised learning was necessary. Hinton believed unsupervised learning would be more effective as computers became faster. This would allow algorithms to learn for themselves.
He was the founder of the Neural Computing and Adaptive Perception programs
Geoff Hinton is recognized as one of the most influential computer scientists in the world for his research in this area. He is a professor at the University of Toronto's Department of Computer Science and holds a PhD in artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh. Hinton has been a key contributor to the field and helped to develop machine learning algorithms.
For his work in neural networks, he was awarded the Turing Award
The Association for Computing Machinery, or ACM has awarded Professor Geoff Hinson the prestigious Turing Award for its groundbreaking research on neural networks. The Turing Award, which honors Professor Geoff Hinson's groundbreaking research in neural networks, is an appropriate tribute to his work. According to ACM, "deeplearning is an integral component of computing." Hinton, a professor from the University of Toronto, was among his co-recipients who are both pioneers of their fields.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society
Sir Adrian Smith is the current President of the Royal Society. He is a Bayesian statistician, a mathematician, who was knighted by the Royal Society in 2011. Peer review determines the election of Fellows and Foreign members of Royal Society. The 85 Nobel laureates who are Fellows of the Royal Society are also eligible for membership. There are around 800 candidates for membership. Geoff Hinson was elected as a member of the Royal Society in 2012.
He is an honorary American Academy of Arts and Sciences member
Hinton is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. He also belongs to the National Academy of Engineering. He was a past president of Cognitive Science Society.
He has been awarded numerous academic honors
Geoff Hinson is a University of Texas at Austin alumnus with a wealth of experience. His academic achievements include an M.A. His academic achievements include a B.A. and M.Div. in English from University of Texas at Austin. From the George W. Truett Theological Seminary Baylor University and a D.Min. Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He served on the boards of many non-profit organizations and was a tutor at three Austin elementary school and the University of Texas.
FAQ
Who invented AI?
Alan Turing
Turing was created in 1912. His father, a clergyman, was his mother, a nurse. He excelled in mathematics at school but was depressed when he was rejected by Cambridge University. He began playing chess, and won many tournaments. After World War II, he worked in Britain's top-secret code-breaking center Bletchley Park where he cracked German codes.
He died in 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born in 1928. McCarthy studied math at Princeton University before joining MIT. He created the LISP programming system. He had laid the foundations to modern AI by 1957.
He died in 2011.
What is the most recent AI invention?
Deep Learning is the newest AI invention. Deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence, uses neural networks (a type machine learning) for tasks like image recognition, speech recognition and language translation. Google invented it in 2012.
The most recent example of deep learning was when Google used it to create a computer program capable of writing its own code. This was achieved using "Google Brain," a neural network that was trained from a large amount of data gleaned from YouTube videos.
This enabled it to learn how programs could be written for itself.
IBM announced in 2015 that it had developed a program for creating music. The neural networks also play a role in music creation. These are sometimes called NNFM or neural networks for music.
Which industries use AI more?
The automotive industry is among the first adopters of AI. BMW AG employs AI to diagnose problems with cars, Ford Motor Company uses AI develop self-driving automobiles, and General Motors utilizes AI to power autonomous vehicles.
Other AI industries include banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities.
AI is good or bad?
AI is seen in both a positive and a negative light. Positively, AI makes things easier than ever. No longer do we need to spend hours programming programs to perform tasks such word processing and spreadsheets. Instead, instead we ask our computers how to do these tasks.
Some people worry that AI will eventually replace humans. Many people believe that robots will become more intelligent than their creators. This could lead to robots taking over jobs.
How will governments regulate AI
Although AI is already being regulated by governments, there are still many things that they can do to improve their regulation. They should ensure that citizens have control over the use of their data. And they need to ensure that companies don't abuse this power by using AI for unethical purposes.
They should also make sure we aren't creating an unfair playing ground between different types businesses. Small business owners who want to use AI for their business should be allowed to do this without restrictions from large companies.
Statistics
- A 2021 Pew Research survey revealed that 37 percent of respondents who are more concerned than excited about AI had concerns including job loss, privacy, and AI's potential to “surpass human skills.” (builtin.com)
- The company's AI team trained an image recognition model to 85 percent accuracy using billions of public Instagram photos tagged with hashtags. (builtin.com)
- While all of it is still what seems like a far way off, the future of this technology presents a Catch-22, able to solve the world's problems and likely to power all the A.I. systems on earth, but also incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. (forbes.com)
- That's as many of us that have been in that AI space would say, it's about 70 or 80 percent of the work. (finra.org)
- In 2019, AI adoption among large companies increased by 47% compared to 2018, according to the latest Artificial IntelligenceIndex report. (marsner.com)

How To
How to setup Alexa to talk when charging
Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant can answer questions and provide information. It can also play music, control smart home devices, and even control them. And it can even hear you while you sleep -- all without having to pick up your phone!
Alexa allows you to ask any question. Simply say "Alexa", followed with a question. She'll respond in real-time with spoken responses that are easy to understand. Plus, Alexa will learn over time and become smarter, so you can ask her new questions and get different answers every time.
You can also control lights, thermostats or locks from other connected devices.
Alexa can be asked to dim the lights, change the temperature, turn on the music, and even play your favorite song.
Alexa to speak while charging
-
Open Alexa App. Tap the Menu icon (). Tap Settings.
-
Tap Advanced settings.
-
Choose Speech Recognition
-
Select Yes, always listen.
-
Select Yes, please only use the wake word
-
Select Yes, then use a mic.
-
Select No, do not use a mic.
-
Step 2. Set Up Your Voice Profile.
-
Enter a name for your voice account and write a description.
-
Step 3. Test Your Setup.
Use the command "Alexa" to get started.
Ex: Alexa, good morning!
If Alexa understands your request, she will reply. Example: "Good Morning, John Smith."
If Alexa doesn't understand your request, she won't respond.
-
Step 4. Restart Alexa if Needed.
After making these changes, restart the device if needed.
Notice: If you have changed the speech recognition language you will need to restart it again.
