AI is making big waves in science. It's not just a tool for the future; it's helping solve real problems right now.
AI in Healthcare and Agriculture
- Disease Detection: AI is being used to spot diseases like tuberculosis and diabetic retinopathy.
- Agriculture: AI helps farmers grow better crops and predict floods.
AlphaFold: A Major Breakthrough
AlphaFold is an AI system that can predict how proteins fold, solving a 50-year-old puzzle.
- Usage: Over 3 million researchers have used it.
- Global Impact: More than a third of these researchers are in low- and middle-income countries, tackling issues like disease and food security.
Other AI Tools in Science
- AI Co-Scientist: Helps researchers come up with new ideas.
- EarthAI: Monitors the environment and responds to disasters.
- AlphaGenome: Predicts cancer-causing mutations.
Challenges and Solutions
- Accessibility: Not everyone has access to these tools.
- Global Partnerships: More people need access to the right tools and partnerships.
- India AI Impact Summit: A platform for leaders to discuss how AI can serve everyone.
The goal is to make AI accessible to all, ensuring the next big scientific breakthrough can happen anywhere, not just in a few places.
