#AlphaFold

The full story of how DeepMind's AlphaFold 2 solved one of biology's grand challenges — predicting protein structures from amino acid sequences — and why this single AI achievement has already transformed drug discovery, biological research, and the relationship between AI and science. The most scientifically consequential AI result since the deep learning revolution began, and the event that earned AI its first Nobel Prize.

The full story of AI's transformation of scientific research — from AlphaFold to AI-designed drugs to AI-generated mathematical proofs to AI models of climate and physics. The beginning of a new kind of science in which AI systems are genuine research partners, not just analytical tools, and what it means for the pace of discovery, the nature of scientific knowledge, and the future of human curiosity.

The neuroscience-inspired AI lab founded in London, acquired by Google, responsible for AlphaGo and AlphaFold, and committed to a vision of AI as a tool for scientific discovery. The full story of DeepMind — the research culture, the extraordinary victories, the tensions of operating inside one of the world's most powerful companies, and the vision of one of the most intellectually ambitious people in the history of AI.
