In the early morning of December 14, the 2023 Nature's Top 10 People of the Year (Nature's 10) was officially announced, in addition to the 10 figures selected from major global scientific eventsThere is also a non-human on the list this year - ChatGPT, a chatbot released by the American artificial intelligence company OpenAI. This year, many of the teams on the list have achieved milestones.
The top 10 Nature People of the Year in 2023 are:
Deputy Director of the Chandrayaan-3 project at the Indian Space OrganizationKapana Kalahasti
Minister of the Environment of BrazilMarina Silva
Developmental biologist, Osaka University, JapanKatsuhiko Hayashi
Chief designer of the National Ignition Device and physicistAnnie Kritcher
The United Nations' first global chief heat officerEleni Myrivili
Chief scientist of openAI, an American artificial intelligence company, and a pioneer of artificial intelligenceIlya Sutskever
Physicist at the University of Florida, USAJames Hamlin
BiochemistSvetlana Mojsov
Director, Nanoro Clinical Research Center, Burkina Faso, Landlocked West AfricaHalidou TintoPh.D.;
Cancer researcher at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UKThomas Powles
In addition to the above ten people, ChatGPT also has a place in this year's Top 10 People of Nature, and the editor-in-chief of the Feature Department of Nature said, "Although this tool is not a person, and it does not fully meet the selection criteria of the Top 10 People of Nature, we made an exception to include it in the list to recognize the great changes that generative AI has brought to the development and progress of science." ”
Many of the teams on the list have achieved extraordinary achievements and milestones that are obvious to all. Kapana Kalahati, deputy director of the Indian Space Organization's Chandrayaan-3 program, assisted in India's first mission to the moon. Physicist Anne Creech, chief designer of the National Ignition Facility, has developed an experiment that for the first time has achieved a nuclear fusion reaction that produces more energy than it consumes. Katsuhiko Hayashi, a developmental biologist at Osaka University in Japan, and colleagues have cultured mouse cubs for the first time using cells from two male mice. Ilya Sutskvi, chief scientist at OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence company and AI pioneer, played a key role in developing ChatGPT and its underlying large language model.
The two people on this year's list try to solve problems that have global significance. Brazil's Environment Minister Marina Silva has taken policy action to reduce deforestation in the Amazon. The rate of deforestation in the world's largest tropical rainforest has been alarmingly high over the past few years. The United Nations' first Global Chief Heat Officer, Eleni Mirivelli, is helping countries cope with the devastating effects of climate change.
Three of the people on the list have driven key advances in biomedicine. A clinical trial led by Haridou Tinto Tinto, director of the Nanoro Clinical Research Centre in Burkina Faso, West Africa, helped get a malaria vaccine approved. The vaccine can significantly reduce malaria infection and mortality. Thomas Powers, a cancer researcher at St Bartholomaie's Hospital in London, UK, reported the results of the clinical trialBladder cancer and other cancers**Significant progress will be made. Biochemist Svetlana Moisov has finally recognized her important contribution to the discovery of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) decades ago, and the current best-selling drug is based on it.
James Hamlin, a physicist at the University of Florida in the United States, pointed out the problem with a seemingly excellent study of room-temperature superconductivity. The corresponding author of the case is Ranga P., an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester dias）。At present, the ** has been retracted by the journal Nature.
ChatGPT also has a place in the top 10 people in Nature in 2023. It has transformed the way scientists do and disseminate research, and has had a wide-ranging impact on society as a whole.
