Connor Coley, 29, developed open-source software that uses artificial intelligence to help discover and synthesize new molecules. The suite of tools, called ASKCOS, is used in production by over a dozen pharmaceutical companies, and tens of thousands of chemists, to create new medicines, new materials, and more efficient industrial processes. One of the largest bottlenecks in developing new molecules has long been identifying interesting candidates to test
Sundar Pichai on Google’s AI, Microsoft’s AI, OpenAI, and Did We … – WIRED
We're talking about AI in a very nuts-and-bolts way, but a lot of the discussion centers on whether it will ultimately be a utopian boon or the end of humanity.
This is Why and How Google Will Kill its Business Model – Medium
The Rara AVIS Reason Behind Their Intentions If you cant beat it, join it. Thats how the saying goes, and thats precisely what our dear friend Google is doing regarding AI. But, weirdly enough, Google is taking it to the extreme, purposely contributing to the demise of its ad-base revenue model, one of the most successful businesses in the history of capitalism and the cash cow behind its trillion-dollar business
AI Can Be an Extraordinary Force for Goodif It’s Contained – WIRED
In a quaint Regency-era office overlooking Londons Russell Square, I cofounded a company called DeepMind with two friends, Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, in the summer of 2010. Our goal, one that still feels as ambitious and crazy and hopeful as it did back then, was to replicate the very thing that makes us unique as a species: our intelligence. To achieve this, we would need to create a system that could imitate and then eventually outperform all human cognitive abilities, from vision and speech to planning and imagination, and ultimately empathy and creativity.
The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman review a tech tsunami – The Guardian
Science and nature books The co-founder of DeepMind issues a terrifying warning about AI and synthetic biology but how seriously should we take it? Scott Shapiro On 22 February1946, George Kennan, an American diplomat stationed in Moscow, dictated a 5,000-word cable to Washington. In this famous telegram, Kennan warned that the Soviet Unions commitment to communism meant that it was inherently expansionist, and urged the US government to resist any attempts by the Soviets to increase their influence.

While the Federal Election Commission hasnt set rules on using AI in political campaign ads, in August it voted to seek public comments on whether to update its misinformation policy to include deceptive AI ads. The Google policy change also comes as Congress is working on comprehensive legislation to set guardrails on AI, and is meeting with leaders next week in the generative AI space, including Google CEO Sundar Pichai, which owns AI subsidiary DeepMind

Disinformation wars: The fight against fake news in the age of AI – New Scientist
IN OCTOBER 2021, Phil Howard, an internet researcher at the University of Oxford, was alerted to a preposterous story on social media. It alleged that the covid-19 pandemic was started by a shipment of Maine lobsters that arrived in Wuhan, China, days before the first outbreak. He and his colleagues spent months trying to track down the source and didnt get to the bottom of it except that it probably originated in China, possibly through the state-owned TV channel CGTN
