Demis Hassabis, Founder and CEO of DeepMind, discusses the development of AI, from self-learning systems like AlphaGo, the first program to beat the world champion at the complex game of Go, to AlphaFold, a solution to the 50-year grand challenge of protein structure prediction.
During the event, he receives a Doctorate Honoris Causa from EPFL.

    ai will be like the Gutenberg press, we will Accelerate Scientific Discovery exponentially

    Great presentation, merci for sharing.

    When you fold a protein the device folding it exerts some torson,then you have hydrogen bonds or proximity of water molecules to amino acids. But most of it should be amino a joining amino b bends at such and such a angle. Given the diagrams they have now you must've solved it.

    Woow finally switzerland doing SOMETHING in AI and machine lerning and not just biology. I want to do AI and machine lerning stuff and not be bored to death. I wan to see swizerland flurish. Many many good things here. Also i hope elitism wont be a problem but so far seems not bad. Lovely video thanks a lot. The introduction seemed quite thoughtful im plesently mildly suprised. Demis is awesome gona be a interssting talk.

    Intuition is my word for the output of the human spirit that perceives at a spiritual level and accesses wisdom from above and beyond the human senses. Our spirit can access wisdom from good (godly) sources or bad (evil) sources and which one makes a fundamental difference in a person’s character.

    37'th 6-line move, they kind of explained tht it has been an human error and missunderstandmentbetween human an AI because the move was crazy and the computer couldn't be this bad.

    The process of imagination creates a link to the highest, other-dimensional capabilities of the human. Tesla had an amazing imagination that allowed him to create to the point that he was a threat to the capitalists. He wanted ‘free energy’ for everyone.
  • AlphaFold has NOT solved the protein folding problem: AlphaFold 2's results at CASP were described as "astounding"[6] and "transformational."[7] Some researchers noted that the accuracy is not high enough for a third of its predictions, and that it does not reveal the mechanism or rules of protein folding for the protein folding problem to be considered solved.[8][9] Nevertheless, there has been widespread respect for the technical achievement.

    Games and reality are analogous, the brain is a layer for what we don't use to play this game. The main computer, a distributed non physical system. 10:45 metaphorically this is free will "The problem is choice" .. no it is the solution ! choice leads to evolution of our personal information system. By extension, our shared information system evolves. Entropy is relentless for obvious reasons.
