Nobel prize in Physics for attempting to use physics in AI but it didn't really work very well and then one of the guys working on a better more pure mathematics approach that actually worked and getting the Turing Award for the latter, but that's not what the prize is for, while the other guy did some actual physics, but that physics is not what the prize is for. AI will solve all physics!!!111
