Geoffrey Hinton won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for his work on machine learning.

He immediately issued a warning about the power of the technology that his research helped propel.

Hinton is n’t the first Nobel laureate to warn about the risks of AI that he helped pioneer.

In his Nobel lecture in 1945 , Harry Fleming made the initial discovery of antibiotic resistance.

Gene therapy is a growing area of medicine, with treatments approved for sickle cell disease, muscular dystrophy.

The technology led to the death in 1999 of a 17-year-old participant in a clinical trial, Jesse Gelsinger .

In 1980 , Berg concluded his Nobel lecture in 1980 with a call for optimism and the “need to proceed”.
