Description
Recent Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry went to work on machine learning, and Charles H. Martin and Ganesh Mani use those awards as a starting point. Their 2024 article asks what it means when three fields that once grew apart now grow back together. The prizes, they argue, reward tools built in one field that changed work in the others.
The authors trace the long history of neural networks, the computer models at the heart of modern AI. They show how ideas from physics and chemistry fed into those models over many decades. Their call is for schools and labs to train more people who can work across fields. Such broad training, they argue, could help close the gap between new theory and real use, and move the field toward more general AI.
