The recent awarding of Nobel Prizes in chemistry and physics to Google-affiliated AI pioneers has sparked controversy, raising questions about Big Tech’s growing influence in cutting-edge research and whether the Nobel Prize categories adequately reflect modern scientific breakthroughs, according to a recent report by Reuters.
Scientists David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the award-giving body said on Wednesday.
Predicting a winner is always tricky but this year, Nobel buzz has spotlighted, among others, Israeli-British physicist David Deutsch, a professor at the University of Oxford, and American mathematician Peter Shor.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionise industries from banking to content creation, it has also begun to influence scientific research, raising the question: Could AI one day win a Nobel Prize? While this may seem far-fetched today, a recent report by AFP highlights how researchers and scientists are working to develop AI systems potentially worthy of such recognition in the future.
The Nobel Prize in Medicine is first out, announced on Monday around 11:30 am (0930 GMT) in Stockholm.
On 5th October, 2023 the acclaimed Norwegian playwright and poet, Jon Olav Fosse, won the Nobel Prize in Literature “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.”
He told the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK that he was “surprised but also not” to have won.
American economic historian Claudia Goldin won the 2023 Nobel economics prize for "having advanced our understanding of women's labour market outcomes", the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said today
Nanoparticles and quantum dots are used in LED-lights and TV-screens and can also be used to guide surgeons while removing cancer tissue.

Literature is our main area of interest.But we also want to highlight areas of intersection between literature and science, politics, pop culture, human rights, and new media.
