Nobel prizes for AI and Machine Learning research

Being from Sweden and always having the utmost respect for the work that the people who receive Nobel prizes have done, this is really interesting to see.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences today announced the Nobel Prize in Chemistry winners for 2024, with DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Director John Jumper sharing one-half of the prize, with David Baker β€” who is head of the Institute for Protein Design at the University of Washington β€” securing the other half.

The news comes a day after AI pioneers Geoff Hinton and John Hopfield won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their foundational work in machine learning and AI.
