AI Revolutionized Protein Science, but Didn't End It
Three years ago, Google’s AlphaFold pulled off the biggest artificial intelligence breakthrough in science to date, accelerating molecular research and kindling deep questions about why we do science.
Researchers from Google DeepMind, an artificial intelligence team based in London, detailed how their algorithm, which used a method known as deep learning, had beaten a human champion at an ancient board game called Go. In March 2016, when DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis was in Seoul watching his AI system AlphaGo beat a human world champion in the ancient game of Go, he flashed back to playing Foldit as an undergraduate. Last year, David Baker (pictured here), with John Jumper and Demis Hassabis, received the Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biology and Biomedicine for their work revolutionizing the study and design of proteins with artificial intelligence.
