Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs Unveil New Bioresilience Strategy
Our Approach to Bioresilience: Isomorphic Labs and Google DeepMind
We are launching a joint bioresilience program with Isomorphic Labs to harness AI for global health security. By leveraging tools like AlphaFold and our Drug Design Engine, we aim to prevent misuse, detect outbreaks faster, and accelerate vaccine development. Our approach combines rigorous safety protocols with open collaboration to build a more resilient world against biological threats.
Instead of just reacting to natural outbreaks or safety risks, we can now use these intelligent systems to help researchers design proactive defenses, accelerate the discovery of therapeutics, and safeguard the global health ecosystem with greater speed and precision.

One thing I really admire about isomorphic and DeepMind in general is that they really try and encode human ingenuity into their models. The only reason that AlphaFold worked wasn't because they had better hardware or more money to train models - it's because they used every bit of information they had access to.
The same goes for AlphaGenome - it only takes a few hours to train the model, but it's freaking amazing what it can predict.

How about focus on keeping up with anthropic and openai. Less talk and more work. As a google shareholder I am really disappointed by their performance lately.
