British-Canadian computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton and co-laureate John Hopfield are set to receive the Nobel Prize for physics on Tuesday in Stockholm .

The pair landed the accolade because they used physics to develop artificial neural networks, which help computers learn without having to program them.

These networks form the foundation of machine learning, a computer science that relies on data and algorithms to help artificial intelligence mimic the human brain.

Hinton , a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto , is often called the godfather of AI .
