There are a lot of discussions around the coffee machine wondering why is this related to physics. Is it because there's no Computer Science or Mathematics Nobel prizes ?

The argument I heard was that they, "applied principles from physics to develop methods that underpin modern machine-learning techniques[^]". Which seems a little ... eh, but I'm not on the committee.

It makes about as much sense than giving Barak Obama the Nobel prize for peace - before he'd even settled in the White House. Apparently the pickings in actual physics were very slim this year.

Yeah, between the physics and chemistry[1] prizes, it really seems like the committee thought, “that AI thing is big, we should do something”. The peace prize seems often hit or miss (all three non-science ones IMO). The Obama one was just ridiculous. This year’s seems reasonable-ish. [1] the chemistry one makes more sense, but it does sound like it hasn’t had much benefit yet[^].
