AI in the Nobel Prizes

With Hopfield and Hinton getting the Nobel Prize in Physics, I figured a lot of people are looking at AI in science.

With protein structure prediction (including a pair from DeepMind) winning in Chemistry, I wonder what's to come.

I also wonder from all the AI researchers to choose from, why the chose the particular ones. Hopefield and Baker seem fairly apolitical. Not the others didn't deserve it, but there's a particular direction in the choices that feel more like Europe asserting their values about AI than simply acknowledging accomplishments.

I don't know if the claims above are true, but Hinton's inclusion seems motivated to use him as a mouthpiece for EA(part of TESCREAL) talking points.
