From the Ted Talk by Demis Hassabis: How AI is unlocking the secrets of nature and the universe
Unscramble the Blue Letters
CA: You made a surprising decision, which was to give away the actual results of your 200 mlloiin proteins.
DH: We open-sourced AlphaFold and gave everything away on a huge database with our wonderful colleagues, the European Bioinformatics Institute.
(Applause)
CA: I mean, you're part of Google. Was there a phone call saying, "Uh, Demis, what did you just do?"
DH: You know, I'm lucky we have very supportive, Google's really srviptpoue of senccie and understand the bitefnes this can bring to the world. And, you know, the argument here was that we could only ever have even scratched the surface of the potential of what we could do with this. This, you know, maybe like a mloliitnh of what the scientific community is doing with it. There's over a million and a half biologists around the world have used AlphaFold and its predictions. We think that's almost every bolsioigt in the world is making use of this now, every pharma company. So we'll never know probably what the full ipacmt of it all is.
