  • ▶ 36:08 Alex Kantrowitz I mean, alpha folds, I, I know it's been kind of talked about forever, but like some of this person, these personalized healthcare examples that you're getting, you know, maybe it's not cure.

  • ▶ 40:25 Alex Kantrowitz Like the craziest story where this guy, I'm going to get some detail wrong, but a guy, um, biopsied his dog, which had cancer, um, ran the mutations across, across alpha fold, and then was able to design an mRNA vaccine that he injected…

Big Technology AI Summit (full): Greg Brockman, Mike Krieger, Aaron Levie & Friends of The Podcast Jun 26, 2026 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 3:42:00 Alex Kantrowitz Like the craziest story where this guy, I'm going to get some detail wrong, but a guy biopsied his dog, which had cancer, ran the mutations across across AlphaFold and then was able to design an mRNA vaccine that he injected into the dog.

How Google DeepMind Operates & Experiments — With Lila Ibrahim and James Manyika Feb 18, 2026 · 3 mentions

  • ▶ 4:12 Lila Ibrahim Um, how do we do alpha fold and protein structure prediction to help us better understand diseases so we can come up with better therapeutics.
  • ▶ 24:32 James Manyika I mean, alpha four is a good example, right?
  • ▶ 40:58 Lila Ibrahim It goes back to what are some of the root node problems, uh, that we might, uh, if IEI can help us unlock, um, a basic understanding of the universe around us, it can open an entire field for ourselves and other researchers to build upon…

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis: AI's Next Breakthroughs, AGI Timeline, Google's AI Glasses Bet Jan 23, 2026 · 9 mentions

  • ▶ 3:54 Demis Hassabis You know, AlphaFold, AlphaGo are examples of that, so some of our most important work, um, combines neural networks and deep learning with things like Monte Carlo Tree Search.
  • ▶ 7:33 Demis Hassabis You know, not solving something in physics or some bit of chemistry, some problem, even like alpha folds, you know, protein folding, but actually coming up with a new theory of physics, something like, um, you know, like Einstein did with…
  • ▶ 20:58 Demis Hassabis AI's gone, already proved that enough, I would say, and, and our work, I think, in things like science and our, and alpha fold and drug discovery, that it's here to stay.
  • ▶ 28:57 Demis Hassabis Is because of things like AlphaGo and AlphaFold, especially AlphaFold, where, you know, we solved all the protein structures that are kind of known to science, and how have we done that?
  • ▶ 29:52 Alex Kantrowitz There's this moment where there's a discussion in the lab about whether to release the results of alpha folds, and you kind of sit there adamantly, and you're like, why are we going through a process? 5 times in the scene

Google Research Head Yossi Matias: AI For Cancer Research, Quantum's Progress, Researchers' Future Oct 28, 2025 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 24:15 Yossi Matias I mean, think about AlphaFold, which, you know, uh, my colleagues, uh, were recognized with Nobel Prize, uh, Demis and John.

OpenAI’s Risky Browser Bet, Amazon’s Mass Automation Plan, Clippy’s Back Oct 27, 2025 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 44:37 Alex Kantrowitz We are only understanding a tiny bit of what we need to understand using alpha fold as an example.

Dwarkesh Patel: AI Continuous Improvement, Intelligence Explosion, Memory, Frontier Lab Competition Jun 18, 2025 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 33:52 Alex Kantrowitz Like an alpha and maybe using things like alpha evolve as an example that these things are actually making original discoveries.

Google DeepMind CTO: Advancing AI Frontier, New Reasoning Methods, Video Generation’s Potential May 24, 2025 · 2 mentions

  • ▶ 2:22 Koray Kavukcuoglu We also have, uh, as many people would know, things like alpha faults, our work on mathematics, chemistry, and all those kinds of things where we are really exploring the boundaries of how AI can be used to do new kinds of science.
  • ▶ 28:14 Koray Kavukcuoglu AlphaFault, all of these kinds of things, all these research ideas have been evolving into building the knowledge space that we have right now.

DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis + Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin: AGI by 2030? May 21, 2025 · 3 mentions

  • ▶ 24:24 Demis Hassabis We have some experience of this in a completely different way with, with things like AlphaFold. 2 times in the scene
  • ▶ 28:02 Demis Hassabis Um, real, uh, structures in nature is quite interesting and telling, and I've been thinking a lot about our work we've done with AlphaGo and AlphaFold in these types of systems.

Are We at the End of Ai Progress? — With Gary Marcus May 7, 2025 · 2 mentions

  • ▶ 36:50 Gary Marcus I want us to take a neurosymbolic approach where we have some classical elements of classical AI, like explicit knowledge, formal reasoning, and so forth that people like Hinton have kind of thumbed their nose at, but the say Demis…
  • ▶ 51:14 Gary Marcus And also alpha fold is actually a neurosymbolic model, and it's probably the best thing that AI ever did.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis: The Path To AGI, Deceptive AIs, Building a Virtual Cell Jan 23, 2025 · 7 mentions

  • ▶ 19:24 Demis Hassabis Started doing things like alpha focus clearly extrapolation beyond what we already know, what's in the training set, um, could be extremely useful.
  • ▶ 39:22 Alex Kantrowitz So, um, you worked on basically, uh, decoding all protein folding with alpha fold. 3 times in the scene
  • ▶ 40:22 Demis Hassabis So the next step is with alpha fold three, for example, we started doing pairwise interactions between proteins and ligands and proteins and
  • ▶ 43:42 Alex Kantrowitz And so, the Human Genome Project sort of, I was like, okay, so they decoded the whole genome, there's no more work to do there, like just same way that you decoded proteins with Fold, but it turns out that actually, we just have like a…
  • ▶ 48:43 Demis Hassabis It's like the next, uh, one of the next sort of, uh, big, uh, impacts we can have like the level of alpha fold really in biology, but this time in chemistry and materials, you know, I dream of a one day discovering a room temperature…

GitHub CEO Thomas Domke -- The One-Person, Billion-Dollar Startup Jul 24, 2024 · 1 mention

  • ▶ 19:40 Thomas Domke I'd say, you know, obviously we have seen AlphaGo and AlphaFold that already happening, but AI has improved itself, right?

  • ▶ 4:54 Colin Murdock Alpha thought bingo. 4 times in the scene
  • ▶ 6:40 Colin Murdock What we see actually, um, in AlphaFold as a good example, um, and even when I think when it gets to, uh, AGI is that we'll see computers and people working together.
  • ▶ 35:33 Alex Kantrowitz I mean, you have alpha fold right now.
  • ▶ 41:14 Alex Kantrowitz You know, I think that alpha fold, and maybe we've done it earlier in this, in this conversation, sort of gets talked about as sort of a thing that's 13 times in the scene
