    #24 - AlphaFold: AI’s Biggest Breakthrough — with Dr Jennifer Fleming, Coordinator, Protein Data Bank in Europe (AIBIO-UK Mini-Series)

    In this episode, Kieren and Riku unpack AlphaFold, widely hailed as one of AI’s biggest breakthroughs. We demystify the staggeringly hard problem of predicting how proteins fold into the 3D shapes that determine function, a task that once took years of experiments. We explain how DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 changed the game, and what that really means (and doesn’t). With Dr Jennifer Fleming — Coordinator of the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) and AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB) lead — we explore how 200+ million predicted structures are accelerating drug design, vaccine research and climate solutions.

    Short Stuff: How Can We Trust AI? The Case for Open Source

    In this Short Stuff episode, Kieren and Riku ask a simple question: how can we trust chatbots with our most personal data?  They unpack what "open source" really means for LLMs (open weights vs training code vs datasets), argue for nutrition-label-style transparency, and share practical tips like when to run a model locally for privacy and what trade-offs to expect.

    #23 - How AI Understands Your DNA — with Prof Ewan Birney, Non-Executive Director at Genomics England (AIBIO-UK Mini-Series)

    In this special episode, hosts Kieren and Riku welcome Professor Ewan Birney, a pioneer of the Human Genome Project, to explore how AI helps us understand our DNA. They unpack the ‘code of life’, from the initial monumental effort to sequence the human genome to the dramatic reduction in sequencing costs and the subsequent explosion of genomic data. Discover how AI and machine-learning tools are now essential for annotating genes, deciphering complex regulation, and reshaping biology and medicine. The conversation also examines the ethical stakes of AI in genomics, including privacy, data bias, and the implications for applications such as embryo selection.
