Artificial Intelligence is achieving increasingly impressive results in drug discovery. Yet as these models become more powerful, they also raise a fundamental scientific question: when do they produce reliable scientific insights, and when do they merely generate plausible predictions?
We are delighted to share some exciting news: Muskaan Chopra has been awarded the Grace Hopper Award by the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Bonn.
DeepL Founder Dr. Jarosław Kutyłowski receives the Lamarr Award—Focus on Translating AI Research into Innovation, Competitiveness and Value Creation.
