The Turing award, often considered the Nobel prize of computing, has gone to two computer scientists for their work on reinforcement learning, a key technique in training artificial intelligence model

Reinforcement learning pioneers Andrew Barto and Richard Sutton receive the Turing Award for revolutionizing AI innovation and shaping the future of technology.

Having machines learn from experience was once considered a dead end. It’s now critical to artificial intelligence, and work in the field has won two men the highest honor in computer science.
