Google has shut down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project to focus on its Gemini AI model, according to a report. The decision marks a shift in priorities for the company, which had previously in…
Google DeepMind has dismantled the Nobel Prize-winning AlphaFold team, shifting its strategy to focus on building AI systems for broader scientific discovery. The landmark project that solved protein …
Researchers introduced LC-SEPLM (Long-range Contact-supervised ESM Protein Language Model), which adapts ESM2 with LoRA and long-range residue-pair contact supervision while retaining sequence-only do…
A new book by Cambridge researcher Eleanor Drage, 'What If We Got AI Right?', argues that the public must look past Silicon Valley's narratives to see the human labor and environmental costs of AI, bu…
Australia should not try to win the AI arms race but instead leverage its critical minerals and renewable energy while ensuring global tech giants pay fair tax, argues AirTree co-founder Daniel Petre.…
Researchers used AlphaFold AI to redesign gene-editing proteins, reducing off-target effects that cause safety concerns in therapies. The team modified key areas of Cas proteins identified by the AI t…
Artificial intelligence has already saturated academia, with 88% of UK students using generative AI for assessments in 2025, up from 53% the prior year, according to the Higher Education Policy Instit…
Anthropic has opened applications for a grant program under its AI for Science initiative, offering up to $50,000 in Claude API credits to researchers working on rare genetic diseases. The program, an…
Google DeepMind philosopher Iason Gabriel works to anticipate the ethical fallout of AI, bridging the gap between AI safety and AI ethics. His 2020 paper on values and alignment argues that choosing w…
Google DeepMind has launched a bioresilience programme to use AI to prevent, detect and respond to biological threats, the London lab and its sister company Isomorphic Labs announced in a joint blog p…
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs have announced a joint initiative on bioresilience, using AI to predict and defend against biological threats, building on AlphaFold technology. Isomorphic Labs, fo…
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs released a joint approach to bioresilience, outlining how AI can prevent misuse of models, detect outbreaks, and accelerate response. The companies have advanced mo…
A study of 40 million papers found that scientists using AI publish more and advance faster, but AI-heavy research clusters around the same problems, reducing scientific diversity. The findings, publi…
Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 predicts interactions among proteins, DNA, RNA, ligands, and other biomolecules, while Isomorphic Labs introduced the Isomorphic Drug Design Engine (IsoDDE) for drug disc…
Nobel laureate John Jumper, co-creator of AlphaFold, left Google DeepMind for Anthropic to advance AI-for-science. Anthropic launched Claude Science, a research workbench, and opened grants for 50 pro…
A developer explains how the Transformer architecture, introduced by Google in 2017, replaced recurrent neural networks and LSTMs as the dominant paradigm in AI. The architecture processes all tokens …
The UN's first global AI science panel warned Wednesday that the window to govern artificial intelligence is closing, as the technology outpaces regulation. The preliminary report from the Independent…
