If that isn’t enough, he’s also CEO of an Alphabet company called Isomorphic, which aims to exploit the possibilities of AlphaFold and other AI breakthroughs for drug discovery. It makes me wonder if your company is stepping into a new paradigm where Google fulfills its mission of organizing and accessing the world’s information not through traditional search, but in a chat with generative AI.
