AI is already having a very positive impact in several areas of medicine and biotechnology. AlphaFold is soon to become a service on demand for researchers worldwide. And it will be much cheaper than the laborious structure determination requiring purification and tedious growth of minute protein crystals before a trip to a beam line for x-ray crystallography or time on an expensive cryo-EM. Interpretation by an MD Radiologist is an expensive and high expertise step before just about any serious imaging result can be used for diagnosis in human health and AI has shown great potential in backing up the radiologist before results are finalized. AI doesn't replace the Radiologist but augments her expertise.
