Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising our understanding of life. The DeepMind programme tackling the protein folding problem, AlphaFold, earned last year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But that was just the beginning.

Join Mikhail Burtsev for a tour of the leading-edge biological applications of AI, including his own, that are now making complex biological insights more accessible than ever before. AI chatbots such as ChatGPT are trained on human language, but these new AI models are instead fed billions of real DNA sequence, allowing them to perform astonishing feats like designing new biological molecules – or even whole new bacterial genomes. Their ultimate goal is to solve perhaps the most fundamental problem in all of biology – reading and understanding life’s genetic blueprint from beginning to end.
