From the lab
Uncover the extraordinary ways AI is transforming our world.
Five years ago, AlphaFold 2 solved the protein structure prediction problem, unlocking new avenues of biological research and providing our first major proof point that AI can be a powerful tool to advance science and cure disease.
Hannah and Pushmeet go on a whirlwind tour of scientific projects, touching on recent breakthroughs in AlphaFold, material science, weather forecasting, and mathematics to better understand how AI can enhance our scientific understanding of the world.
Could we use the sound of a coral reef to determine its health? Do we know where all the world's natural forests are? And are we on the verge of using AI to decode animal communication?
Hannah and Joelle discuss existing AI applications including image analysis for diabetic retinopathy and the expansion of diagnostic tools as a result of multi-modal models.
They explore how AI is revolutionizing scientific discovery, delving into topics like the nuclear pore complex, plastic-eating enzymes, quantum computing, and the power of Turing machines.
AI for Science Forum
In 2024, we were excited to host the AI for Science Forum, in partnership with the Royal Society.
The Forum brought together scientists, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the transformative potential of AI to drive scientific breakthroughs.
