This is a video about the development of AlphaFold, the AI system that analyzes, and then produces, protein folding, which is the mechanism used to create new proteins. Even if AI doesn't improve beyond where it is now, says the announcer, we will be reaping the benefits from the scientific advances for decades to come. And when you increase how easy it is do do difficult things by a factor of 100,000 it ultimately changes the nature of what it is exactly that you're doing. Great video, clear and well explained, Via Scott Leslie.
