Charrington argues that the most productive model for AI in science is not autonomous AI discovery but human-AI partnership: human researchers provide domain expertise, intuition, and hypothesis generation while AI provides computational power, pattern detection, and exhaustive search.

AlphaFold solved protein structure prediction but the harder problem — predicting protein function from structure — remains largely unsolved
Charrington discusses the gap between the AlphaFold achievement (predicting 3D structure from amino acid sequence) and the remaining challenge (predicting what a protein actually does based on its structure). Structure prediction was the easier half of the problem.Was this useful?
