Description
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics came as a bit of a surprise to many, as the awarded topic does not seem to relate to the traditional fields of physics for the untrained observer. In this talk, I will try to explain how models rooted in statistical physics have laid the groundwork for the rapidly developing algorithms of artificial intelligence today and give a brief overview of the current state-of-the-art of AI application in sciences and medicine.
