Spin Glasses, Boltzmann Machines, and the Physics of AI

In this episode, we unpack why the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics honored Hopfield and Hinton for breakthroughs at the crossroads of physics and artificial intelligence. From spin glasses to Boltzmann machines, we explore how energy landscapes, learning rules, and activation functions shaped neural networks—and what this physics-driven lineage means for the future of AI.
