Ten years have passed since the creation of AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence system developed by Google DeepMind. In honor of this date, the organization published a material dedicated to the evolution of the technology over the last decade.
According to the report, AlphaGo's legacy has extended far beyond board games. The technology has become a catalyst for new scientific discoveries, particularly in the field of biology.
Developers indicate that the progress achieved thanks to these systems paves the way for the creation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This stage marks a transition from narrowly specialized tasks to solving fundamental scientific problems.

Why it matters
A likely consequence will be increased funding and attention to projects at the intersection of AI and natural sciences. The next observable signal may be specific publications about breakthroughs in protein engineering or drug development, attributed to methods developed after AlphaGo. The main uncertainty lies in the actual timelines for achieving AGI and the practical scalability of current approaches beyond laboratory conditions.
