It was a surprise, not because of the quality and contributions of the laureates, but because they are two multidisciplinary scientists who, coming from fields such as physics and psychology, have laid the foundations of artificial neural networks and machine learning as we know them.
For me, it is also a recognition of the relevance that artificial intelligence is having in our lives and, in particular, in many recent scientific advances. The science and technology of the 21st century will be the child of artificial intelligence. Once again, this award demonstrates the communicating vessels in science and technology, where many phenomena and theories that arise from Physics or Neuroscience have their counterpart in Computing, and end up becoming, after decades of refinement and the work of many other more anonymous people, the technologies that are changing the world.
In short, computing is mathematics, physics, psychology, biology, all the sciences. Without it, and without the intelligence derived from it, the world cannot be understood.
