🥇 We're still celebrating a truly momentous achievement for AI and science. Here's the moment some of the #AlphaFold team found out our CEO Demis Hassabis and Research Director John Jumper were co-awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024. After the news was announced, John and Demis reunited with their colleagues in London. 🎉

"Every major AI company says it aspires to bring positive change to countless aspects of life, but Google DeepMind is doing an uncommonly high percentage of the heavy lifting." Global Tech Editor at Fast Company Harry McCracken recently spent time with our CEO Demis Hassabis and many others at our London offices and shared his perspective on our work ↓ https://lnkd.in/e5g_Siiy

How can AI revolutionize the scientific method to bring in a new age of discovery? Eric Topol, MD chaired a fascinating discussion with our VP Science, Pushmeet Kohli and leading biomedical researchers Alison Noble (Vice President, Royal Society) and Fiona H. Marshall (President of Biomedical Research, Novartis) to discuss this and more. Watch the full panel now ↓ https://goo.gle/3VqplpB

With Google Quantum AI, we’re introducing AlphaQubit: an AI-based system that can more accurately identify errors inside quantum computers. 🖥️ Here’s why this is important. ↓ Certain problems which would take a classical computer billions of years to solve, can be solved by quantum computers in a few hours. The issue? These systems aren’t as reliable as we’d like. Quantum error correction solves this by: ◾Grouping multiple qubits into a single logical qubit. ◾Making consistency checks. ◾Using a decoder to identify and correct errors from those consistency checks. AlphaQubit achieves a new state-of-the-art in decoding accuracy, helping to make quantum computers more reliable. AlphaQubit shows the potential of machine learning approaches in this space. We look forward to advancing this work, helping pave the way for more stable and reliable quantum systems. ↓ https://goo.gle/3V0rVCo

Together with The Royal Society, we hosted the AI for Science Forum: a gathering of leading scientists, academics and policymakers to explore AI’s role in the future of science. 🔬 We’ll be sharing highlights from the event over the coming days.
