What has changed?
So if I understand right, just as AI has cracked understanding human language, you see a possibility that AI could be used to understand the language of our own cells, RNA.
Is it approximately the same level of complexity as human language, or much more so, or...?
To try and crack it, I think you have to take the same stance of just getting huge amounts of data.
Talk about that process.
So give a sense of how you actually do this.
So you do what you call a perturbation of the cell, and then you measure the output.
How many experiments like that do you need to do?
What's your plan?
And you're not talking about, like in software, you're talking about a billion actual biological... Yeah, they're all physical experiments.
Okay, so if things work out as you hope, I guess you're already seeing evidence that it's working out, once you gather that data, you're able to get from the model something truly amazing.
Talk about that.
You've done 60 million, right.
So that's an amazing sort of prediction that this model, like if you truly understand the language of DNA, the model can predict something that medicine has never known before.
Because the answer to doing that might be quite a complex series of interventions are needed for that cell.
It's not like you just give it an aspirin.
So ...
What are you going to do with this model as you gradually refine it?
I mean, if I understand, so you're thinking of this as basically a virtual cell, is what you're creating, or it's almost more than that.
It's like a universal virtual cell that researchers can, whatever cell they're working on, they can use your model.
