Artificial Intelligence: Achievements

AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol by four games to one. Combining learned evaluations with search was a major demonstration in a demanding strategic game. The achievement concerns Go under defined rules; it does not demonstrate unrestricted reasoning in the physical world.

AlphaFold 3 extended structure prediction to complexes involving proteins and other molecules. This is an important computational contribution to biological research. A predicted structure is a model to investigate, not an experimentally established interaction or proof that a proposed medicine is safe and effective.
