Google doing work to uncover the pandoras box of genetics? How long before they shove this under the rug...
I really love Deep Mind, its genuinely focused on using AI to make the world a better place.
Be careful when loving shareholder-driven endeavors; they're a single executive decision away from breaking your heart.
not my field so I can't judge how useful it is but assuming this data can be used for drug discovery and their ToS limiting to non-commercial use only. Does DeepMind plan on selling this data to pharmaceutical companies?
Probably. I know Google has partnerships with Pharma: https://www.merck.com/news/merck-and-google-cloud-partner-to...
Individual SNP predictions are not useful for drug discovery. Pharma might license this, but mainly out of fear of missing out.
It's a bigger deal for diagnostics than for drug development.
My understanding is that they already are, via Isomorphic Labs
Hopefully. Tired, as a shareholder, to see the giveaways that deepmind is doing.
Astroturfing, eh? This is verbatim the same comment as another user in this thread. Strange...
PunchTornado was first, fr2029 was second
An atlas of the human genome from the company whose other atlas still routes me into a lake.
