Schmidhuber renews attack: 2024 physics Nobel for Hopfield and Hinton was a Nobel for plagiarism
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-03
AI pioneer Jürgen Schmidhuber publicly doubled down on his claim that the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for Hopfield and Hinton was effectively "a Nobel Prize for plagiarism." He alleges their papers republished and misattributed fundamental techniques invented in the 1960s-70s by Ivakhnenko (Ukraine) and Amari (Japan) without citation, asserting none of modern AI's key algorithms came from them. He released a detailed tech report, said it was vetted by neural network pioneers, and echoed Elon Musk's criticism of Nature, citing the Jason Arday case. These remain his one-sided accusations in a long-running priority dispute, unverified independently.
