DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and John Jumper scoop Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold
DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have scooped the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their AlphaFold work.
The news comes the day after AI pioneers Geoff Hinton and John Hopfield won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their foundational work in machine learning and artificial intelligence. “One of the discoveries being recognised this year concerns the construction of spectacular proteins,” Heiner Linke, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, said in a statement. Baker, for his part, secured his half of the prize for engineering entirely new kinds of proteins, designed computationally to perform specific functions within pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and so on.
