It will be updated monthly. California has launched a new portal, which tracks AI-related job losses in the state. According to the office of California Governor Gavin Newsom, it's meant to serve as an early warning system for widespread job cuts due to artificial intelligence, allowing the government to proactively determine where interventions may be needed the most.

They use Unemployment Insurance claims data combined with AI exposure measures to come up with the figures in the tracker.

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger chemical cascades that alter cellular behavior. Understanding how proteins fold and move is therefore essential for developing drugs that interact well with their targets. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a very useful tool to generate novel protein structures, but most systems - including Google DeepMind's AlphaFold - focus on producing static'snapshots' of proteins. Subtle rearrangements of atoms in structures called side chains, which influence a protein's interactions with other molecules, are not captured.
