At Google DeepMind, perhaps the most important example is AlphaFold, the company’s AI program capable of solving what it calls the protein prediction problem.
The company also made AlphaFold open-source, meaning any researcher anywhere in the world can access it (over 2 million people in 190 countries and counting, according to Google DeepMind).
