Part 8/11:
Similarly, AI is poised to catalyze another enlightenment—a profound expansion of human understanding and capabilities. For example, AI recently solved the long-standing scientific challenge of protein folding, explaining the 3D structures of thousands of proteins overnight—a task humans struggled with for decades. Such breakthroughs exemplify AI's potential to revolutionize science, medicine, and countless other fields.
Amplifying Human Potential
This new "enlightenment" will not only amplify our scientific understanding but also our mental powers. Just as the steam engine expanded physical capabilities, AI will serve as an extension of our cognitive faculties, enabling us to process information more rapidly, analyze complex systems with ease, and generate insights beyond prior reach.
