Some of di ogbonge tins wey dem fit carry di two pipo work take do na to improve climate modelling, develop solar cells and analyse medical pictures.

British-Canadian Professor Geoffrey Hinton, wey dem dey sometimes call “Godfather of AI”, na im research on neural networks wey make current AI systems like ChatGPT comot.

Meanwhile, Professors Demis Hassabis and John Jumper collabo to use artificial intelligence to take predict di structure of almost all known proteins and create di tool wey dem dey call AlphaFold2.

E dey important to medicine sake of say to sabi protein structure dey important to know how to target am and bifor AlphaFold2, na just a tiny amount of proteins dem bin don work out di structure but now, dem dey use am for 200 million proteins world wide.

One of di professors advise pikin dem say make dem no only dey play video games but also make dem make am as na wetin make am start to dey experiment wit AI.

Dia discoveries help to explain how complex life take start for Earth and how di human body dey made up of di different tissues dem wey e get.

MicroRNAs na wetin dey influence di way genes dey controlled inside organisms wey include human beings.

If microRNA no dey regulated wella, e fit contribute to cancer and oda issues like congenital hearing loss and bone disorder.
