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

It must have been very difficult to choose which researchers were awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physics for the foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks. Research in this area began back in the 1950s and after going through several periods of greater and lesser scientific development, it has reached the present day with renewed strength. Both John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton stand out for designing different types of artificial neural networks that have given rise to the creation of current artificial intelligence tools that allow both the detection of cancers in early stages and the generation of realistic artificial text. This news is surprising given that there is no Nobel Prize for computer science, highlighting the fact that multidisciplinary work is clearly the future of cutting-edge research.
