Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Physics for Hinton and Hopfield for discovering the basis of machine learning with artificial neural networks"

It was certainly a surprise that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics went to two pioneers of artificial intelligence (AI). However, when you consider the huge impact that AI now has on our lives and on many fields of science, it is no longer so much of a surprise. This impact can only increase and will surely lead to more than one discovery receiving a Nobel Prize in the future. It seems a wise decision by the committee and congratulations are due to them and to the laureates.
