What does ancient bridge building and AI have in common?

Distinguished Scientist John Jumper explains how confidence in AI tools for science can come from seeing them perform reliably – similar to ancient builders constructing safe bridges without knowing the equations of their engineering.
He shares his journey from helping develop AlphaFold and being awarded a Nobel Prize, to accelerating science with AI – all on our podcast with @fryrsquared

Google DeepMind

Artificial intelligence could be one of humanity's most useful inventions. DeepMind aims to build advanced AI to expand our knowledge and find new answers. By solving this one thing, we believe we could help people solve thousands of problems. We’re a te...
