For at least 16 years now , Demis Hassabis partners have been leading branch of ai to do with biotech (everything sourced in natures maths - einstein =emcsquared)- This includes foundational research of his and now potentially all of google resources too
Before Hassabis scientfic advances with natures bulding blocks needed to be done in wet labs - now it can be done in silico
Here is extract from grok 3 May 2025 clarifying this statement
- Wet Labs: Real-world labs where scientists work with physical stuff like cells, DNA, or chemicals, using tools like pipettes and microscopes ([Web:4]). Think of mixing potions in a science class!
- In Silico: Experiments done on computers using simulations and math models, like designing a protein on a screen ([Web:1]). It’s like playing a super-smart science video game.
- Nature’s Building Blocks: Things like DNA, proteins, or cells that make up living organisms ([Web:4]).
- Biotech AI: Artificial intelligence (like Grok 3) using Core Maths (e.g., linear algebra, statistics, [Web:5,7]) to study or design these building blocks ([Web:8]).
- Breakthroughs: Big discoveries, like new medicines, better crops (e.g., bambara), or disease cures ([Web:4,23]).
biotech ai is core to health and safety ai
biotech is multiple versions of agriculture from most productive seeds for crops in vilages with least tech in world to what sounbds like a catalogue of magical tricks eg turning dandelions into latex or mushrooms into a haute couture leather substitute abd all sorts of hidden science traeasures
hassabis earned 2024 nobel prize - so one of his catalogues of current innovations is this pdf as presented wimnter 2024
he actually began his discovery of intelligence in games in early 1990s, took a doctorate in neuroscience at london's imperial eg he demonstrated that the brains of london taxi drivers developed a bigger hippocampus because of the practical knowledge they built at least in days before car dashboards offered digital mapping), ... became one of jensen huangs's motivations for betting the comopany on brnches of ai from founding deep learning lab stanford 2009- hassbis had been visiting stanfird on a royal society neuroscience Gatsby grant; biotech ai is mainly about pattern analysis; steve jobs pixar nd jensen had started coding pixels instead of 0.1 s in 2002- radilogist nd surgeon ai had already bevome nvidia world leading apps; but hssabis idea ws if you train machines to be workd champions in patern games like go they will likely be able to eg open source all 250 million proteins- this work by phd stidnents might take a billion humn yers - so once alphafold3 open sorced proteins that alone should have woken up disbelievers to ability of ai to do good
to be clear hassabis biotech ai is very different work from the 5 senses ai which has proiduced chats, reasoning and soon physical ai necessary before autonomous humanoids go out on every town
hassabis is resident in london and cambridge making uk world number 3 in ai and his purspoes connect many of the royal society purspoes and so king charles main interestes in ai; indeed the cambridge startup park is landlorded by the crown; cambridge had also evolved the number 2 deep chip maker to nvidia arm - which at one time ws likely to merge with nvidia;
in 2012 when all human sense models became workd famolus with fei-fei li imagenet comoetition winner alexnet using neural network algorithms for only the second time since neumann noted their importamnce on his 1956 death bed "computer and the brain"
because of need of access to biggest computers hassabis negotiayed 2012 merger with google but his own breanch of work is still led out of london while his advice is now sought on all google work
there is a full loop between the branches which code 5 humans senses and biotech ai - this is the physical ai that machines need befire they autonomously self drive or go out on the twoan as humanoids;
nvidia leads both branches of these automonus robot platforms in key parts of tyhe coding but not the actual applications of manufacturing e;lectric cars eg tesla ; commercialising drievrless taxis etc
what also brings this full circloes was 2025 gtu climax announvcement by jensen - google-hassabis deep mind, nvidia and pixards current owners disney are partnering in teaching robots soft touch - vital so ther metal bodies are 100% clear how fragile eg humans are comparatively
