Herbert Simon won the Nobel Economics prize, but I don’t recall how much his AI work was mentioned vs his work on organizations and psychology.

Subject: [Robotics] Nobel Prize in Physics in 2024
Well, this is an interesting development:
Certainly, Hopfield networks and Boltzmann machines are inspired by physics, but at the root, this Nobel prize is for training neural networks. Might be the first truly AI-based Nobel prize.
So, keep coding out there, you never know where it may lead!
