Two important scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics this year. They are John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They got this award for their work on artificial intelligence (AI).
Hopfield and Hinton made big discoveries in machine learning. This is how computers learn to do tasks. Their work helped create the AI we use today. AI can now do many things, like recognize pictures and translate languages.
Hinton is happy about the award. He thinks AI will change many areas of life, like healthcare. But he also warns that AI could become too powerful. He worries it might one day be a danger to humans.
