The author here is shoehorning "AI" into the headline to boost views. Quite misleading.

"AI" in this case was used to generate a 3D model of a protein. Literally, something you can grab from Wikipedia — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoglycerate_dehydrogena...

The underlying work performed by the researchers is much more interesting — https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S00928674250039...

They identified a possible upstream pathway that could help treat disease and build therapeutic treatments for Alzheimer’s.

I don’t know about you all but I’m tired of the AI-mania. At least author didn’t but "blockchain" in the article.
