is this what the article talks about?
CRISPR is the tool that lets us precisely edit genes in DNA, which contain the instructions for making proteins. AlphaFold is the AI tool that helped us understand what those edits actually do. It’s the 3D shape of the protein that determines its function - without understanding protein folding, gene editing would be like changing code in a language you don’t fully understand and just hoping it works.
so while not the same, it's a fairly similar field, it is a safe to assume that similar tools can be used. not yet though, the tool is not ready.
why is there a study for this? other than hype - for "ai", which this arguably isn't
AI can do, and has done X already. That's my point.
