description John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing machine learning technology using artificial neural networks. In Chemistry it was awarded to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for developing an AI algorithm that solved the 50-year protein structure prediction challenge. This highlights AI’s impact on science, medicine and society; however, the winners acknowledge ethical aspects of AI that must be considered.
