Geoffrey Hinton — Education: PhD in Artificial Intelligence, University of Edinburgh (1978); BA in Experimental Psychology, Cambridge University

NoteThe source text explicitly confirms both educational credentials: 'In 1967, he matriculated as an undergraduate student at King's College, Cambridge and, after switching between different fields such as natural sciences, history of art, and philosophy, eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in experimental psychology in 1970.' and 'From 1972 to 1975, he continued his study at the University of Edinburgh, where he was awarded a PhD in artificial intelligence in 1978.' The source also confirms postdoctoral positions: 'After his PhD, Hinton initially worked at the University of Sussex and at the MRC Applied Psychology Unit. After having difficulty getting funding in Britain, he worked in the US at the University of California, San Diego, and Carnegie Mellon University.' All elements of the claim are directly supported by the source.
