Can AI compress the yearslong research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the…

Great breakdown of AI’s role in scientific research, but I think we need to be realistic about the “billions of years saved” claim. While AlphaFold’s ability to predict protein structures in seconds instead of years is genuinely revolutionary, big numbers like that feel more like marketing than reality. That said, this is still an impressive achievement – the fact that AI can drastically speed up one specific type of scientific research is amazing, even if we’re far from the sci-fi scenarios of superintelligent AI solving all our problems. It’s a good reminder that AI’s real progress is in narrow, specialized domains rather than general intelligence, and that’s perfectly fine. We should celebrate these specific breakthroughs while keeping our expectations grounded.

I am already using chat gpt to fine tune my life style according to my blood results. I also asked about the best brands of supplements, which o es to take according to my symptoms, dosages according to my weight, age. And also how to take it, times and combos. Not to mention what kinds of foods are best foe me and calories. I asked too to make a list of ingredients foe the week, menu and calories along all the macros adjusted to my needs. No doctos would do this foe you. I go to the doctor for blood work.

Life was a battle. I faced severe health issues that I couldn’t afford to fix, including a surgery I desperately needed. I sank into $63,000 debt, losing all hope. But today, my surgery was done, my debt was cleared, and I now receive an influx of $41,000 monthly. All thanks to Sheryl Garrett. I am grateful beyond words for this unexpected turn of events. 🙏

I dont think people understand how life changing personalized medicine can be. A lot of drugs are not approved by the FDA because they might cause harmful side effects to a small percentage of the population. With this technology and human gene sequencing, it will be possible to manufacture drugs specific to the individual and not to the general population.

Sorry but AI can NEVER replace real-world messy science. Yes, AlphaFold PREDICTS the structure of proteins, but it’s a prediction. We still need to do a lot of wet lab experiments to validate this prediction. Would you trust a drug that has never been tested on real cells, or real animals but only predicted based on AI? I don’t think so. It saves a lot of time, but it’s wrong to say it replaces it. It helps, it does not replace. And AlphaFold is very bad at predicting non-structured proteins, which contribute a large proportion of the proteome. Caveats upon caveats.
