Artificial Intelligence Vs. Virus: Google Uses DeepMind AI To Combat Coronavirus

Google is using its DeepMind artificial intelligence to use to combat the coronavirus or COVID-19. With the coronavirus still spreading slowly but surely and no cure is yet to be seen, is there any hope that this AI might be able to help find the cure? Read More: READ! Coronavirus Has Two Strains Which Will Make it Even More Difficult to Contain Since The Other Half Doesn't Know They Are Infected Until It's Too Late A post that was published Thursday, DeepMind is now using its AlphaFold system to create "structure predictions of several under-studied proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19." The predictions, however, have not been experimentally verified, but DeepMind is confident that the data will be useful to the scientists who have a better understanding of the novel coronavirus that it will be of use to them. DeepMind stated that understanding a protein's structure usually takes months or even longer.
