Raya warns Arsenal of 'in-form' Gyökeres' threat
TORONTO — When Geoffrey Hinton strode across the Stockholm Concert Hall stage Tuesday to receive his Nobel Prize for physics from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, he was beaming. It has taken decades for many beyond the science community to realize the British Canadian computer scientist's life's work was so significant it eventually formed the foundation of artificial intelligence. But on Tuesday, as he accepted the Nobel diploma and its accompanying gold medal with co-laureate John Hopfield, there was no question about the importance of Hinton's discoveries nor how he has shaped history. Instead, there was only pride for the affable 77-year-old, often called the godfather of AI — and that pride stretched from Stockholm to Toronto. A crowd of about 100 students and colleagues at the University of Toronto, where Hinton is a professor emeritus, gathered at the school's downtown campus to watch the Nobel ceremony. Two other watch parties took over the school's Mississauga and Scarborough campuses. Any mention of physics or a sighting of Hinton, clad in a dark suit and white bow tie, generated rousing applause at the Toronto gathering. When the man of the hour headed to retrieve his accolade from the King, a few former students and colleagues wiped tears from their eyes. "There is, at least for me, this sense that Prof. Hinton created the whole ecosystem here, where there are thousands of people who are working on his ideas," Michael Guerzhoy, one of Hinton's former students who went on to teach a course Hinton had once led at the university, said before the ceremony began. The idea that earned Hinton the Nobel dates back to the 1980s, when he was working at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and AI was far from the buzzy technology it is today. It was then that Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine, which learns from examples, rather than instructions, and when trained, can recognize familiar characteristics in information, even if it has not seen that data before. "It was a lot of fun doing the research but it was slightly annoying that many people — in fact, most people in the field of AI — said that neural networks would never work," Hinton recalled during a press conference on the October day he was named as a Nobel laureate. "They were very confident that these things were just a waste of time and we would never be able to learn complicated things like, for example, understanding natural language using neural networks — and they were wrong." Neural networks are computational models that resemble the human brain's structure and functions. When Nobel physics committee chair Ellen Moons presented Hinton to receive his award, she said these networks are good at sorting and interpreting large amounts of data and self-improve based on the accuracy of the results they generate. "Today, artificial neural networks are powerful tools in research fields spanning physics, chemistry and medicine, as well as in daily life," she said. John DiMarco wasn't surprised that Hinton's work paved the way for such possibilities, but the IT director for U of T's computer science department was taken aback that Hinton's Nobel came in the unlikely physics category. DiMarco met Hinton roughly 35 years ago in a job interview and quickly took note of his proclivity for humour and the quirks in how his mind works. "He is quite insightful and he goes straight to the core of things," DiMarco said. "He would sometimes come out of his office and share some new idea. We didn't always understand what he was sharing, but he was very excited about it." Many of those ideas required lots of computing power the school's systems didn't have, so DiMarco's team patched together a solution with graphics processing units from video game consoles. DiMarco brought one of Hinton's GPUs to the watch party, which was also attended by Joseph Jay Williams, the director of U of T's Intelligent Adaptive Interventions Lab. Williams took one of Hinton's classes and said the Nobel winner "changed the course of my life" by encouraging him to go to grad school, which then led him to win the XPRIZE Digital Learning Challenge, a global competition aimed at rewarding people who modernize learning tools and processes. Other notable mentees and alumni of Hinton's classes include OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and Cohere co-founders Nick Frosst and Aidan Gomez. With his Nobel win and so many esteemed protege, Williams said Hinton has become a "reluctant celebrity" who is hounded for photos every time he's on campus. Hinton, however, has taken a much more humble approach to his recent win, which he learned of on a trip to California. He initially thought the call from the academy that gives out the Nobel was "a spoof," but later realized it had to be real because it was placed from Sweden and the speaker had a "strong Swedish accent." The award the academy gave him comes with 11 million Swedish kronor (about $1.4 million) from a bequest arranged by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Hinton and Hopfield will split the money, with some of Hinton's share going to Water First, an Ontario organization working to boost Indigenous access to water, and another unnamed charity supporting neurodiverse young adults. Hinton has said he doesn't plan to do much more "frontier research." "I believe I'm going to spend my time advocating for people to work on safety," he said in October. Last year, Hinton left a role he held at Google to more freely speak about the dangers of AI, which he has said include bias and discrimination, fake news, joblessness, lethal autonomous weapons and even the end of humanity. At a Stockholm press conference over the weekend, he said he doesn’t regret the work he did to lay the foundations of artificial intelligence, but wishes he thought of safety sooner. “In the same circumstances, I would do the same again,” he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 10, 2024. Tara Deschamps, The Canadian PressPune: Maharashtra deputy chief minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar on Monday told his nephew and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar that had he campaigned in the latter’s constituency, it might have jeopardised his victory in the recent assembly elections. Rohit, the grandnephew of NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, narrowly retained the Karjat-Jamkhed seat in Ahilyanagar district, defeating Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Ram Shinde by a slim margin of 1,243 votes. The uncle-nephew interaction took place during the visit to the memorial of the state’s first chief minister YB Chavan on his death anniversary in Karad. Ajit came face-to-face with Rohit, who was accompanying Sharad Pawar. Congratulating his nephew for poll win, Ajit quipped, “Come, take my blessings. You barely survived (in retaining the seat). Had I held a rally (in Karjat-Jamkhed), imagine what would have happened.” Rohit responded by touching Ajit’s feet, acknowledging him as a “father figure” despite political differences. “In the 2019 elections, he (Ajit Pawar) helped me. Since he is my uncle, it was my responsibility to seek his blessings. In this land of Chavan Saheb, we uphold the tradition and values he established,” Rohit told reporters. When asked about Ajit’s banter, Rohit admitted that his uncle’s political rally might have impacted the outcome. “But he was busy in Baramati and didn’t have time to campaign in Karjat-Jamkhed,” he said, congratulating his uncle for NCP’s performance in the elections. Ram Shinde accuses Ajit Pawar of conspiracy Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Ram Shinde alleged that Ajit orchestrated a “conspiracy” to ensure NCP (SP)’s win in Karjat-Jamkhed. Addressing a press conference, Shinde claimed there was an “undeclared agreement” within the Pawar family, which benefited Rohit Pawar. “Ajit Pawar admitted today in Karad that he didn’t campaign in my constituency. I had messaged him on October 7, requesting dates for his rally, but he deliberately avoided campaigning,” Shinde alleged. Shinde accused Ajit of intentionally staying out of the Karjat-Jamkhed campaign to tilt the scales in Rohit’s favour. He interpreted the NCP chief’s comment — “What would have happened if I had participated in the rally?”— as confirmation of a premeditated strategy to influence the election outcome. The BJP leader criticised Rohit’s political ambitions, pointing out that despite aspiring to become a minister or even the chief minister of Maharashtra, the latter had failed to exercise his voting rights during the assembly elections. Shinde insinuated that the omission was part of a larger political manoeuvre by the Pawar family. Shinde expressed frustration over the alleged “family feud” agreement, which, according to him, had shaped political developments in Karjat-Jamkhed to favour the NCP (SP). “I am a small farmer’s son who has fought against powerful political forces,” Shinde said. “Sharad Pawar entered the assembly in 1967, even before I was born. Yet, I have carved out my political career through hard work, confronting the might of the Pawar dynasty.” Rohit responds Reacting to Shinde’s allegations, Rohit reiterated his respect for Ajit Pawar. “It is our ‘sanskar’ to touch the feet of elders for blessings. Ajit Pawar helped me a lot during my 2019 elections,” he said. While acknowledging that his uncle’s rally might have influenced the outcome, Rohit maintained that Ajit’s focus on his own Baramati constituency prevented his involvement. Rohit dismissed Shinde’s claims of conspiracy, emphasising that the election result reflected the people’s mandate rather than any orchestrated plan. NCP reacts Amol Mitkari, NCP spokesperson, refuted allegations made by Shinde. “All NCP leaders and supporters worked loyally for Mahayuti candidates. In fact, Ajit Dada Pawar asked me to campaign in Karjat-Jamkhed for at least two days, but I was stuck at Morshi so could not do it. It is wrong to make such allegations after the poll results are out.”
