Nathan Benaich argues that nearly every designed molecule will soon be designed with AI.
- He frames this as an extension beyond structural prediction systems like AlphaFold.
- The next step, in his view, is AI not only understanding molecules but also generating and writing them.
- He points to ProfluentBio as an example of that shift toward AI-driven molecular design.
