IAIFI Research Panel on the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their development of foundational and physics-inspired machine learning frameworks (the Hopfield network and the Boltzmann machine, respectively). Following on a fireside chat discussing the historical significance of the award in Fall 2024, IAIFI is hosting a panel discussion that will dive deeper into the impact of Hopfield and Hinton’s work, and more broadly of physics insights, on interdisciplinary research tackling the understanding of artificial and biological intelligent systems. 
Guest Speakers: Cengiz Pehlevan (Kempner Institute/Harvard University), Dmitry Krotov (MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab/IBM Research), and Ila Fiete (McGovern Institute/MIT).
Attend in Person: MIT Schwarzman College of Computing (MIT 45-102)
