Literally speaking, artificial intelligence and physics are two completely different disciplines. In fact, another name for artificial intelligence is “machine intelligence”, where “machine” refers to electronic computers. In 1946, the electronic computer successfully evolved from a circuit system capable of expressing logical algebra (physics), acquiring computing and storage capabilities that rivaled or even surpassed those of humans, and gradually developed into a new field—computer science. This paper interprets the reasons behind the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics being awarded to AI scholars from the perspective of computer science, by outlining the nearly 80-year history of the birth of computers.
