      Controversies




      = Physics

      =
      Hinton's awarding of the Prize in Physics, for research on machine learning, provoked debates about the lack of recognition for computation and mathematics in the Nobel Foundation's categories. Some saw Hinton's work as crucial but not traditionally in line with physics.


      = Economic Sciences

      =
      The Atlantic called the Prize in Economic Sciences in 2024 to be one of the most controversial in recent history. Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson's work was criticized by historians and social scientists for inaccurately describing and analyzing history, neglecting the role of colonization in nation-building, and reflecting the insularity of economics as a discipline, among other critiques.
