Nobel Prizes to be announced next week amid global conflicts and AI advancements

The Nobel Prizes will be announced next week amid ongoing global conflicts, including wars in the Middle East and Sudan, and rising military spending. The Peace Prize may be withheld this year due to the current violence, a rare occurrence in its history. Nominees for the Peace Prize include grassroots organizations working for peace in the Middle East and groups aiding those affected by famine in Sudan. The announcement will take place on Friday, following other categories throughout the week. Artificial intelligence may also be recognized in various categories, particularly in science. AI advancements, such as Google's AlphaFold, have led to significant breakthroughs, raising the possibility of AI-related discoveries being honored this year.
