Generative AI Night: procedural generation and drug discovery
On April 24, 2025 we gathered at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira for Generative AI Night: procedural generation and drug discovery. On the programme: Cristhian Andrés Grajales Pérez, Frederick Johan Castañeda Pérez.
Two talks on generative AI — procedural generation in games (Minecraft-style worlds) and LLMs applied to biotech research.
Talks
Procedural generation in video games: building infinite worlds
Speaker: Cristhian Andrés Grajales Pérez
Find out how games like Minecraft, Terraria, and others build infinite worlds through procedural generation. We explore key concepts — noise, seeds, and dynamic content creation — with practical examples and clear explanations. Ideal for developers and enthusiasts who want to understand how unique experiences are built through code.
AI and biotechnology: discovering drugs with language models
Speaker: Frederick Johan Castañeda Pérez
A look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping the discovery of new drugs. We cover the role of large language models in biomedical research, the use of architectures like AlphaFold 2 and AlphaFold 3 to predict protein structures, and how these technologies make it possible to simulate interactions between proteins and chemical compounds. With clear examples and real applications, the talk is aimed at developers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to understand how AI is accelerating innovation in biotechnology and medicine.
