“Geoff Hinton, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto and a senior researcher at Alphabet Inc.’s Google Brain, Yann LeCun, a professor at New York University and the chief AI scientist at Facebook Inc., and Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal as well as co-founder of AI company Element AI Inc., will share this year’s award, which is given annually by the Association for Computing Machinery.
The three winners will split a $1 million prize that comes with the award, which is currently underwritten by Google. Hinton said he will donate a portion of his share to the University of Toronto’s humanities department. “They are much less well-funded and I think the humanities are very important to the future,” he said in an interview.
