From the Bitter Lesson of AI scaling to the unsolved mysteries of protein folding , Google DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli and Biohub’s Sal Candido are rethinking what it takes to build AI that truly understands biology. In this special panel moderated by Brandon Anderson , they explore why AlphaFold’s breakthrough was only the beginning , why scaling compute and data alone won’t solve biology, and how the next generation

Google DeepMind creates watermarked AI-designed proteins that still work in lab tests SynthID Bio embeds a detectable signature into AI-generated protein sequences and structures, with Nature research showing the watermark can survive without significantly disrupting biological function Google DeepMind researchers have demonstrated a way to watermark AI-designed proteins while preserving their biological function, an
In what can be called a major breakthrough for synthetic biology and AI-powered biosecurity, Google DeepMind, Google’s AI lab, has developed a new method to watermark AI-designed proteins, establishing a permanent proof of origin directly inside biological code. Published in the journal Nature, the proof-of-concept technology, which is named SynthID Bio, solves a long-standing technical challenge: embedding an non-no
Google DeepMind said Tuesday that it has used artificial intelligence to predict the biological consequences of all 9 billion possible single-letter changes to human DNA, and is making the resulting database available free to academic researchers worldwide. AlphaGenome Atlas, as DeepMind calls the database, is a precomputed catalogue of what each substitution of a single DNA base is likely to do to the machinery that
DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli on AI’s Scientific Revolution Pushmeet Kohli leads AI for Science at DeepMind, where his team has created AlphaEvolve, an AI system that discovers entirely new algorithms and proves mathematical results that have eluded researchers for decades. From improving 50-year-old matrix multiplication algorithms to generating interpretable code for complex problems like data center scheduling, AlphaE
