I read an article recently about the specialized AI used to model the 3d protein folding for 200 million known/mapped proteins. The project was part of a team overlapping w/ Google Alpha and these folding models are available to anyone with a need for no royalties and basically no fee. When I was in my 20s/30s I recall donating computer time on my PCs to citizen science research efforts attempting this for just a *few* proteins. There are positives and negatives to many technologies - the positives hold up and take us to the future, while we fight against the negatives and keep them from swamping us.
