Googles Deepmind-AI sätts in i forskning om corona
Google har satt in tungt AI-artilleri i arbetet med kartläggningen av coronavirusets egenskaper. Det rapporterar Business Insider. Det är AI-divisionen Deepmind som nu har låtit sitt system för djupinlärning ta itu med förutsägelser kring virusets proteinstrukturer. Förhoppningen är att Deepmind ska kunna korta arbetet med kartläggningen av virusets proteinstruktur med flera månader.
Google köpte det framstående brittiska AI-företaget Deepmind 2014.

DeepMind Technologies is a UK artificial intelligence company founded in September 2010, and acquired by Google in 2014. The company is based in London, with research centres in Canada, France, and the United States. In 2015, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.
The company has created a neural network that learns how to play video games in a fashion similar to that of humans, as well as a Neural Turing machine, or a neural network that may be able to access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine, resulting in a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain.
The company made headlines in 2016 after its AlphaGo program beat a human professional Go player Lee Sedol, the world champion, in a five-game match, which was the subject of a documentary film. A more general program, AlphaZero, beat the most powerful programs playing go, chess and shogi (Japanese chess) after a few days of play against itself using reinforcement learning.
