Good news! One of the highest awards in computer science went to to researchers in machine learning & AI.
"ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today named Amii Fellow & Canada AI Chair Richard S. Sutton and Professor Emeritus of computer science at University of Massachusetts Amherst Andrew G. Barto as the recipients of the 2024 ACM A.M. Turing Award for developing the conceptual and algorithmic foundations of reinforcement learning. In a series of papers beginning in the 1980s, Barto and Sutton introduced the main ideas, constructed the mathematical foundations, and developed important algorithms for reinforcement learning—one of the most important approaches for creating intelligent systems. ..."
