Quick Glance: Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94
  • Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science, has died at 94, according to the University of Edinburgh.

  • The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN research center was a significant advancement in understanding the cosmos, steering physics towards once-fantastical ideas.

  • Higgs, initially 'incompetent' in the physics lab, later specialized in theoretical physics, inspired by quantum physicist Paul Dirac from his school.

  • The Higgs boson's completion of the Standard Model opened doors to explore unexplained aspects of the universe and abstract concepts like parallel universes, despite Higgs disliking the 'God particle' nickname.

  • Many of us have fallen under the spell of the foundation model in the past year and a half, triggered by OpenAI's unveiling of ChatGPT.

  • DeepMind, acquired by Google in 2014 for a reported £400-650 million, has achieved more impressive milestones than most.

  • Deep Mind's CEO Demis Hassabis confirmed at the TED 40th anniversary conference in Vancouver, Canada, that Google has no intention of slowing down investment in the technology, but rather the opposite.

  • Hassabis emphasized the need to avoid an artificial intelligence arms race that could lead to risky decisions and highlighted the importance of society starting to think about the types of architectures being built as we approach achieving artificial general intelligence.
