Part 7/11:
Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, along with biochemist David Baker, received the Nobel in Chemistry for decoding complex protein structures. Since proteins are fundamental to understanding health and disease, this achievement could fast-track new medicines and therapies.
Jeffrey Hinton, often called the “Godfather of AI,” earned the Nobel in Physics for his work in machine learning. His foundational research underpins much of contemporary AI but has also sparked concerns about the technology's trajectory.
