AlphaFold3 uses AI to helps scientists more accurately predict how proteins interact with other biological molecules.

Using AI in scientific research is justified. While AI is certainly dangerous for the overall good of society, it can enhance science and tech in much faster way.
As, I've maintained that a very careful use of AI can do wonders and a careless use can rekt all of us.

Given a list of molecules, the AI program can show how they fit together. It does this not only for large molecules like proteins, DNA, and RNA but also for small molecules known as ligands, which bind to receptors on large proteins like key fitting into a lock.
Future drugs are going to be so good.
However, unlike its predecessors, AlphaFold 3 is no longer open source. This means scientists cannot use custom versions of the AI model, or access its code or training data publicly, for their research work.
That's lame.
