The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded a day after two pioneers of artificial intelligence—John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton—won the Nobel Prize in physics for helping create the building blocks of machine learning, which is revolutionising the way we work and live.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Norwegian Nobel Committee will announce recipients of the Nobel Prize in literature, peace, and economic sciences in the coming days. Winners receive a medal, a personal diploma, and a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($986,270).
This year’s Nobel Prize laureates will receive their awards at prize ceremonies on December 10, the anniversary of award founder Alfred Nobel’s death.
