The Road to Biology 2.0 Will Pass Through Black-Box Data
Michael Bronstein and Luca Naef
This year marks perhaps the zenith of expectations for AI-based breakthroughs in biology, transforming it into an engineering discipline that is programmable, predictable, and replicable. Drawing insights from AI breakthroughs in perception, natural language, and protein structure prediction, we endeavour to pinpoint the characteristics of biological problems that are most conducive to being solved by AI techniques.
