(A) John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton — (IV) Physics: They were awarded for their foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks. Their work used tools from physics to develop methods that are the basis of today's powerful AI.

(B) David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper — (III) Chemistry: The prize was split: David Baker received half for computational protein design, while Demis Hassabis and John Jumper shared the other half for protein structure prediction (using the AI model AlphaFold2).

(C) Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun — (I) Physiology or Medicine: They were honored for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation, which revealed a new dimension to how organisms develop and function.

(D) Han Kang — (II) Literature: The South Korean author was awarded for her "intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life." She is the first South Korean to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
