Google DeepMind has disbanded the original team behind its Nobel Prize-winning AlphaFold AI system, reallocating members to new projects like the Gemini large language model, enzyme design, nuclear fusion, and genomics. This shift marks a strategic change from focusing on single scientific challenges to developing AI systems that assist and potentially automate scientific processes, aiming to compete with other AI leaders like OpenAI. Nearly a quarter of the original AlphaFold authors have left DeepMind, highlighting the significant transformation in the company’s AI research approach. This move aligns with broader trends as AI increasingly supports various job functions, including physical and manual roles.
