Nobel Prizes Feature Work in Artificial Intelligence
October 15, 2024
In something of a coming-of-age story, this year’s Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry recognize pioneers in developing and applying artificial intelligence, with recipients remarking on both the rewards and risks that may flow. Also reflecting this revolutionary emergence, a series of essays in Issues examines how AI is reshaping society and how humans can shape AI. Getting governance wrong could mean narrowing cultural narratives, curtailing creativity, and exploiting workers. In the essays, social scientists and humanities experts explore how to harness the interaction between AI and society, revealing urgent avenues for research and policy.
