DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome, a new AI model designed to predict how even small changes in DNA can influence gene activity. The model focuses on the non-coding regions of DNA - stretches that do not contain direct blueprints for proteins but instead act as regulatory control centers, determining when and how genes are switched on or off. These regions make up the bulk of the human genome and have long been difficult to interpret.<br /> The article Deepmind’s AlphaGenome predicts how small DNA changes affect genes appeared first on THE DECODER.

At start of December, Google DeepMind released Genie 2. The Genie family of AI systems are what are known as world models. They're capable of generating images as the user — either a human or, [...]
Remember when Japan sent a spacecraft to an asteroid 180 million miles away to scoop some dirt off the surface? Six years on from its arrival to Earth, that sample has yielded some insights about what [...]
Here's an AI-government collaboration of a less… unsettling variety than some. Google DeepMind is teaming up with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for tropical cyclone season. The AI researc [...]
Google Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis expects the first forms of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to emerge within five to ten years, though significant technical challenges remain.<br /> The [...]
Deepmind's new weather AI forecasts tropical cyclones about a day further ahead than leading operational models, matching a decade of progress in traditional weather forecasting. Code and model w [...]
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, says AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and drive unemployment to 10–20 percent in as little as one to five years.<br /> The article An [...]
