Physics Nobel Prize 2024 goes to 2 Physicists for their contribution to AI's Neural Networks

For the First Time in History the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded for work related to AI.

This now gives AI and its related fields of study a new place in Academic History

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their groundbreaking work in artificial neural networks. Hopfield, known for his Hopfield network, focused on bridging the gap between physics, biology, and computer science, using insights from the brain to improve AI. Hinton, considered the "godfather of AI," developed methods allowing computers to recognize patterns in data, revolutionizing fields like speech and image processing.

Both researchers, while optimistic about AI's potential, have raised concerns about the technology's  ...
