AI as Biology's Digital Microscope

This article is written as part of an ongoing research initiative by the AMIR Lab at Georgia Tech, exploring scientific discovery and mechanistic interpretability for biological AI models. Main results and discussion points raised are adapted from the ProtoMech framework, which was accepted into ICML 2026.[1]SummaryAI models have revolutionized biology by enabling us to simulate, predict, and engineer biomolecules in silico. We have the unique opportunity to repurpose these AI models from opaque...
