Will AI win the next Chemistry Nobel Prize?

Expert systems, knowledge bases, statistical analysis have long contributed to the advances in Chemistry. The application of Artificial Intelligence(AI) in the form of machine learning (ML) has seen a huge expansion of late. These data driven approaches potentially change the way we will approach research and teaching in Chemistry. However, this also imposes significant demands on the generation of data and infrastructure needed to respond in order to ensure that the quantities of quality information can be generated in a more automated manner and recorded in ways that enable curation, dissemination and sharing in machine readable ways. But will these AI systems lead to an increase in the type of scientific discovery resulting in AI winning a Nobel Prize?
