Proteins are the building blocks of life, underpinning every biological process in every living thing. Understanding their structure is the key to solving complex problems like creating vaccines, treating diseases and breaking down plastics. Google DeepMind’s co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis sat down with The Atlantic to discuss how AlphaFold can predict proteins’ 3D shapes — revolutionizing the field of biology and helping scientists solve society’s biggest challenges.

Creating audio content with AI is easier than ever. 🗣️💬 We recently helped develop two tools: NotebookLM and Illuminate to narrate articles, generate stories, and even create multi-speaker discussions. Here’s how the technology works: Our latest speech generation model can produce 2️⃣ minutes of dialogue. We trained it by: 🌀 Using thousands of hours of audio data teaching the model how to generate natural speech and dialogue.  🌀 Fine-tuning on a smaller, high-quality database consisting of speaker annotations - or unscripted conversations from a number of voice actors - teaching the model how to reliably switch between speakers. The applications for this AI technology are huge, and we’re excited to see how these models can continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
