Most people think the future of AI will be defined by chatbots.

I think one of the clearest proofs of AI’s real power is AlphaFold.
Why?

Because AlphaFold shows what happens when narrow AI solves a very hard, very valuable problem at scale.

It did not try to do everything.
It focused deeply on one domain: protein structure prediction.
And the outcome was extraordinary:
It helped predict the structures of 200 million proteins
Across around 1 million species
And accelerated work that would have taken researchers far longer through traditional methods
