The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 to

John J. Hopfield

Princeton University, NJ, USA

Geoffrey E. Hinton

University of Toronto, Canada

“for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”

@astyerche Resolves Yes.

Which Nobel prize? There are only five:

• Physics

• Chemistry

• Physiology and Medicine

• Literature

• Peace

What exactly qualifies research to be "on AI/ML"? Does it count if they used ML classifiers at any point, or does it have to be about the concept of AI/ML specifically?

@Richard96f0 if it was a significant part of their results then yes, i.e. the results they're getting the award for was mostly through ML.
