Working to apply artificial intelligence to molecular simulations, DP, short for “Deep Potential”, believes that the unifying power of “scientific research for humanity” will pave the way for its global expansion. Areas that can benefit from scientific computing range from biopharmaceutical research and car design to semiconductor development. The London-based AI powerhouse reported £44 million ($60 million) profit in 2020, up from a whopping £477 million ($650 million) loss in 2019. In the meantime, DP’s international ambitions might encounter roadblocks from the ongoing decoupling that’s dividing the U.S. and China across many areas, including scientific research. “Both the fields of basic science and biopharmaceuticals are shared by all of humanity, and they are relatively open and inclusive.
