In 2024, he was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics with John Hopfield "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks." His development of the Boltzmann machine was explicitly mentioned in the citation.
“...I’m particularly proud of the fact that one of my students fired Sam Altman. And I think I better leave it there.”
Hinton was referring to Ilya Sutskever. The former chief scientist at OpenAI joined Helen Toner and two others on the controlling nonprofit board to sack their CEO in a spectacular coup last November. Sutskever quickly regretted his role plunging OpenAI into crisis and Altman was returned to his role in a matter of days.

In a landmark 1986 paper, Hinton teamed up with two of his former colleagues at UCSD, David Rumelhart and Ronald Williams, to describe a technique called backpropagation for efficiently training deep neural networks.
