Last year, the Nobel Committee awarded breakthrough achievements in two categories based on the combination of classical sciences and artificial intelligence. The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to American scientist John J. Hopfield from Princeton University and British-Canadian computer scientist and cognitive psychologist Geoffrey E. Hinton from the University of Toronto – for "fundamental discoveries and inventions enabling machine learning through artificial neural networks." In the Chemistry category, the Nobel Prize was awarded to three researchers: American biochemist and computational biologist David Baker – for "computer protein design," as well as representatives of Google DeepMind – British artificial intelligence systems specialist Demis Hassabis and American chemist and computer scientist John M. Jumper – for "protein structure prediction."
The significance of these scientific results, awarded the Nobel Prize, and their authors are discussed in their article for the journal "Bulletin of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine" by the scientific director of the Educational and Scientific Complex "Institute of Applied Systems Analysis" of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute," academician of the NAS of Ukraine Mykhailo Zghurovskyi and the deputy director of the V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics of the NAS of Ukraine, academic secretary of the Department of Informatics of the NAS of Ukraine, academician of the NAS of Ukraine Oleksandr Khimich.
