Schmidhuber renews attack: Nobel-winning Hopfield & Hinton work was plagiarism
SchmidhuberAI · x · 2026-09-04
Jürgen Schmidhuber reiterates his claim that the 2024 Physics Nobel Prize for Hopfield & Hinton effectively rewarded plagiarism: they republished methodologies developed in the 1960s-70s by Ivakhnenko (Ukraine) and Amari (Japan) without citing the original inventors, and none of modern AI's key algorithms came from the laureates. He says he has released a detailed tech report, checked by neural network pioneers and AI experts, and sarcastically asks whether PhD students should now rewrite and resubmit old papers as their own.
