The 2024 Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry were seen as a sweep for artificial intelligence (AI) tools which, at their conception, were inspired by neuroscience. By imitating the behavior of human brain cells, machine-learning algorithms are accelerating our understanding of basic biology, with technologies such as Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold 3 making it possible to predict the structure of proteins or how they might interact with potential drugs.
