Google DeepMind rises above the AI scrum with genome atlas

While OpenAI and Anthropic fight over whose models can escape their sandbox more alarmingly, Google’s DeepMind team has once again shown how machine learning can also be used to advance science for humanity’s benefit. On Tuesday, the Chocolate Factory’s crack team of AI researchers unveiled AlphaGenome Atlas, a massive database containing a petabyte worth of data predicting the effects of nine billion possible nucleotide variations in the human genome. According to Google, the platform, which is
