Why AlphaFold Didn't Solve Protein Folding — Pushmeet Kohli, Google DeepMind & Sal Candido, Biohub

A panel with Google DeepMind's Pushmeet Kohli and Biohub's Sal Candido, moderated by Brandon Anderson, examines how AI should be built for biology. Topics include scaling laws and data quality, the bitter lesson applied to data, AlphaFold's handcrafted design and its limits, protein dynamics, cryo-EM as a richer data source, trust and calibration versus interpretability, and why curing disease requires 10x breakthroughs.
