    Fascinating to see the rapid - and hugely positive - impact that AI has had in the life sciences within a few years. As a former biology/immunology student, this is the area I'm most excited to see AI/tech transform. Huge congrats to David Baker, @demishassabis and John Jumper.

    DeepMind's Demis Hassabis has been gunning for a Nobel prize for years. Now he's finally got it.
  • @emollick Ethan Mollick on x
    Well, I wrote both a book on AI & co-authored economics papers on AI, so I guess I am in the running for two different Nobels this year But, seriously, the intersection between AI and other branches of academia are only likely to grow in the future, given these early indications

    This year's chemistry laureates Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model, AlphaFold2, to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins' complex structures. Check out two examples of protein structures determined using AlphaFold2. First up, a bacterial enzyme […

    Many physicists have complained that yesterday's Nobel was not about “real” physics. If you think so, I have a question for you: Would you have the same complaint if the prize had gone to work in, say, the Ising model or spin glasses?

    This is a bit of a dark horse — had not seen them in any of the sweepstakes ahead of the announcement. But if everything is either physics or stamp collecting we just promoted machine learning to “physics”. (Lovely overlaps with statistical mechanics, too)
