Artificial intelligence plays a major role in two categories of the 2024 Nobel Prizes. This is a sign of things to come

It is likely that we will see more Nobel medals awarded to researchers who used AI tools. As this happens, we may find that the scientific methods honored by those Nobel Prize committees will move away from the simple categories of "physics," "chemistry," and "physiology."
