Chapter 1370: Chapter 1040 Artificial Intelligence

Using computer-assisted scientific research, artificial intelligence is at the forefront.

For example, in the field of protein structural biology, scientists have been using artificial intelligence to predict the complex structures of proteins.

There is a company under Google called "DeepMind," which uses artificial intelligence for biological research and has achieved remarkable accomplishments in this area. The company developed the artificial intelligence model "Alpha Fold 2." This model successfully solved a problem that baffled scientists for decades––predicting protein structures from amino acid sequences.

Since its inception, "Alpha Fold 2" has been used in numerous scientific applications, with over two million people from about 190 countries utilizing the "Alpha Fold 2" model. For instance, pharmacologists have used it in applications such as antibiotic resistance, finding new treatments for diseases like malaria, developing new targeted drugs, protein research, etc., studies that will help people better understand diseases and develop new drugs faster.

In the realm of protein research, "Alpha Fold 2" greatly shortens the time it takes to manually determine protein structures, showcasing the powerful supportive role of artificial intelligence in scientific research.

Previously, a top scientific research team could only resolve around a dozen protein structures per year, but Alpha Fold 2 can resolve hundreds of millions of proteins at a time, an efficiency that showcases a time advantage on an incomparable scale.

Artificial intelligence not only has a tremendous advantage in predicting protein structures but also in designing protein structures.

There are a limited number of protein types in nature. To achieve certain specific purposes, researchers hope to create new protein types, such as applying new proteins to achieve the goal of curing diseases. Similarly, artificial intelligence models also have significant advantages in this aspect. They can design entirely new protein structures that do not exist naturally in a very short time. If this task were to be carried out by humans, it would require a great deal of manpower and time. Currently, a university research team in the United States has already taken a leading role in this area.

Yang Ping thought that if scientists’ ideas and methods could be expressed through an artificial intelligence model, its power would be astonishing. This is akin to having a powerful "system" assisting researchers in conducting their scientific research.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping’s plan in his mind is already very clear; he wants to use the knowledge he has mastered to build an artificial intelligence model to assist scientific research. For example, a certain harmless bacterium currently carrying the K-factor, if done manually, it’s uncertain whether the results will be in ten years or twenty years, but with the help of artificial intelligence, the optimal structure might be obtained in a few minutes.

If modeling is required, it must rely on a combination of knowledge in mathematics, computational science, and biology. In this regard, Yang Ping, whose native language is Chinese, has a natural advantage. He has read a large number of monographs and papers in the System Space, all of which were translated by the system at that time, equivalent to Yang Ping reading almost all the world’s excellent works and papers in Chinese. And the interdisciplinary advantage of Chinese is unmatched by any other language in the world.

Yang Ping handed this project over to Director He because this artificial intelligence model must be based on Director He’s Digital Human to achieve many targets in medical research.

When Director He received this project from Yang Ping, he thought it would be difficult to complete by himself alone, so he teamed up with Nandu University and Nandu University of Technology to establish the artificial intelligence model. Nandu University has strong mathematics, while Nandu University of Technology has accumulated expertise in artificial intelligence. The three universities joined forces to take advantage of each other’s strengths to build this artificial intelligence model. As for the matter of funding, with Yang Ping’s support, that was not an issue at all.

Yang Ping’s thoughts are now very clear; use artificial intelligence to establish a "system" in reality, enhance the efficiency of scientific research, reduce detours, and decrease the number of trials and errors.

Yang Ping checked the time; he was not in a hurry to go home from work yet, he could still go to the Stem Cell Laboratory to see and chat with Tang Shun about the recent progress in scientific research.

Lately, Tang Shun had recruited some new people; it was unknown how well the team was gelling. Li Yingtong, a leading stem cell talent imported from the United States, had been quiet, and it was unclear what she was thinking or whether she could be retained.

Yang Ping had pondered whether or not to keep Li Yingtong and eventually believed that Tang Shun had the capability to retain her. If it were someone else, Yang Ping wouldn’t dare take the risk, but for Tang Shun, not to say 100% confidence, there was at least 80% confidence that Li Yingtong could be retained.

Upon arriving at the Stem Cell Laboratory, Tang Shun was in a meeting, and Yang Ping did not wish to disturb them; he chose an office to rest and wait until the meeting dispersed.

Since Tang Shun took charge of the laboratory, he had managed it impeccably, not only recruiting a large number of top talents but also allowing these talents to unite and work together closely, and furthermore, he carved out many avenues for the laboratory to generate income continuously.

Yang Ping was very satisfied with Tang Shun’s work; he is a high-end talent with intelligence, emotional intelligence, and financial acumen.

About fifteen minutes later, Tang Shun finished the meeting and came to the office to see Yang Ping: "Professor Yang, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

"There’s nothing urgent, I just came to take a casual look and chat with you. Are you busy?" said Yang Ping.
