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."

The developers of the deep learning technologies using neural networks won the Nobel Prize

  • No comments
The two, John Hopfield from Princeton University and Prof. Geoffrey Hinton from the University of Toronto changed the way machine learning is done for artificial intelligence and promoted the technology becoming as powerful as we know it today
The mechanism of the flow of genetic information from the DNA molecule to microRNA molecules and from there to proteins. The identical genetic information is stored in the DNA of all cells in our body. This situation requires precise regulation of gene activity so that only the correct set of genes is active in each type of cell. Courtesy of the Nobel Prize Committee
