The first Nobel Prize in artificial intelligence...Two machine learning scientists and a physics prize.

The first Nobel Prize winner has emerged in the field of artificial intelligence that is hitting the world.

Since the 1980s, two scientists who laid the foundation for machine learning, the core of artificial intelligence, have received the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The concept of machine learning, the core of artificial intelligence and AI, emerged in the 1980s.

Professor John Hopfield of the United States mathematically established a way for computers to find the optimal image on their own by imitating human neural networks.

Professor Jeffrey Hinton from the United Kingdom, who took over the research, has moved on to using statistical physics to learn computers.

Computers can classify images on their own based on deep learning and even create new examples.

That's why Professor Hinton is called the father of AI in the 21st century.

The pair's research blossomed in the 2010s as machine learning research began to explode.

Today, two people who played a decisive role in the creation of AI that entered mobile phones have been selected as winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This is the first time a Nobel Prize winner has been awarded in the field of AI.

Nor did the Nobel Committee forget to warn of the dangers AI could bring.

[David Havilland, commissioner of the Nobel Prize in Physics] AI can be used either way, good or bad. It depends on humanity's decision on how to use it.
