A pair of scientists—John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton—won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their work on artificial neural networks and machine learning.
The two men are credited with developing the foundational underpinnings of modern artificial intelligence.
“Thanks to their work, humanity now has a new item in its toolbox, which we can choose to use for good purposes,” the Nobel committee posted on social media. “Machine learning based on artificial neural networks is currently revolutionizing science, engineering and daily life.”
