AlphaGenome marks a major breakthrough in computational genomics, matching or exceeding current state-of-the-art models for predicting functional elements directly from DNA sequence. This AI establishes a powerful foundation for sequence-to-function modeling and has the potential to transform how researchers generate hypotheses, prioritize experiments and translate genetic variation into biological and clinical insight.
Medical AI technologies lack adequate evaluation and often cause harm by making wrongful predictions, with many deployed despite evidence of safety issues. Current AI models are not reliable enough for patient care, frequently overstating risks of genetic changes and producing predictions not yet ready for clinical use.
