NoteThe source directly confirms both degrees: 'graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in experimental psychology in 1970' from King's College, Cambridge, and 'awarded a PhD in artificial intelligence in 1978' from University of Edinburgh. 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.' The claim mentions Sussex and UCSD specifically, which are both confirmed in the source.
