A great gift to humanity. Alphafold 2 was cited in some 1,500 papers, this will go down the same or more. We truly are heading to the end of disease and birth defects. There are currently 1,500 genetic treatments in various stages of testing many of which will come to market.

One thing that stands out with Demis is that his drive for success was never about to 'outcompete' others - he aims to find out the truth and help push research and innovation to get there, for everyone, and not just the few.

I have a degree in biochemistry back from 1992... and we actually talked about this in some classes. Imagine a steel factory where you need to precisely bend a one mile long rod of metal 10s of thousands of times and put each bend at a precise position. Actually figuring out where each bend needs to be is a huge task all on it's own, but then figuring out the factory configuration to where you can do all of those bends, while still allowing the rest of the rod to fit move through the factory is a Herculean task. We knew back then that someday computers would not only be able to design the drug, but also be able to describe the process we needed to use to make that drug.

AI is not used in the chips, but rather optimization algorithms. They have been used in the industry for years. If what you say is true, which it is not, AI has been used since the 70s to improve industrial processes. Algorithms are not necessarily AI, but AI is algorithms.

Demis a genius

I hope the AI development will have a huge impact on the modeling support of drug discovery and development helping out in increasing the efficency. Still the elephant inthe room is translation or lack of understanding thereof, meaning generation of buckloads of biological data for you to process.😊 We need to remember how the data behind alphafold was generated, how many PhDs and industrial scientists are behind the PDB database? That was the hardest work enabling alphafold. That doesnt off course cast any shadow on the clever work creating alphafold. It is a big step.

Great to see him involved in drug discovery, we are getting ever more closer to age reversal, a great future of possibilities exist!

Great work! More spotlight should be placed on such advancement and research. A clear economic model should emerge on its application with the right measures to prevent its misuse.

Demis Google CEO and sander alphabet CEO

Here is something that Alpha fold or isomorphic labs can do. Suppose you have a molecule consisting of a specific set of atoms. Perhaps it is not catering to the specific action you want it to do. You can always replace it with an atom that is of the same outer orbital structure, like say replacing sodium with potassium or carbon with silicon and see how the molecule changes and whether it now caters to the job at hand. Just sayin. The way the AI could figure out what happens if you replace sodium with potassium is train on already available molecules that have sodium replaced by potassium and learn what happens when you do such a thing. Or maybe even manufacture some of the molecules and train on them.

I find it interesting that he does not mention Reinforcement Learning (RL). It was revealed in a 2018 email that came out of the lawsuit between Open AI and Elon Musk, and probably hence, why Google stated last year that "we have no moat". RL is most likely describing the "core technology...from the 90's" in the email (though RL was not explicitly mentioned in the email, it's a big hint), RL was funded by the USAF (i.e. US tax payers) prior to 1997, and there is an actual "Q*" described in the second edition of Reinforcement Learning (RL) book by Sutton and Barto (even though it is lower case q*). The 2nd edition of RL book does not mention K-means clustering, but this is used in a 1997 thesis (that almost no one knows about) that also uses Fuzzy Logic (a merging of mathematics and language, for state space classification and control of an inverted pendulum, not the exact title, but it is at ASU....maybe) applied with RL.
