I am convinced that King Charles, for whom I have the utmost respect, did not know that 4 of the 7 2025 Queen Elizabeth awardees (Drs. Hinton, Bengio, LeCun, Hopfield) repeatedly republished key methods & ideas whose creators they failed to credit, not even in later surveys. This affects their most-cited papers. They did not invent any of the key algorithms of modern AI. The evidence has been collected in well-known reports [NOB][DLP][CN25][AIB] backed by numerous references. How will that affect the legacy of Queen Elizabeth whose name is now attached to this lack of scientific integrity? Of course, it is well known that plagiarism can be either "unintentional" or "intentional or reckless" [PLAG1-6], and the more innocent of the two may very well be partially the case here [NOB][DLP]. But science has a well-established way of dealing with "multiple discovery" and plagiarism - be it unintentional [PLAG1-6] or not [FAKE1-2] - based on facts such as time stamps of publications and patents. The deontology of science requires that unintentional plagiarists correct their publications through errata and then credit the original sources properly in the future. The awardees didn't [DLP]. This behavior apparently turns even unintentional plagiarism [PLAG1-6] into an intentional form [FAKE1-3][NOB][DLP]. The reports [NOB][DLP][CN25] were reviewed by many Machine Learning experts, some of them famous pioneers. The Romans already knew: magna est veritas et praevalebit (truth is mighty and will prevail)! REFERENCES [NOB] A Nobel Prize for Plagiarism. Technical Report IDSIA-24-24. Abstract. Sadly, the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to Hopfield & Hinton is effectively a prize for plagiarism. They republished foundational methodologies for artificial neural networks developed by Ivakhnenko, Amari and others in Ukraine and Japan during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as other techniques, without citing the original papers. Even in their subsequent surveys and recent 2025 articles, they failed to acknowledge the original inventors. This apparently turned what may have been unintentional plagiarism into a deliberate act. Hopfield and Hinton did not invent any of the key algorithms that underpin modern artificial intelligence.
