In short, Artificial Intelligence is being harnessed to create breakthrough drugs no one has ever seen before.
In a Wall Street Journal interview this month, Dr. Lloyd Minor, dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, said:
“The drug discovery process is on the cusp of being transformed in ways that will dramatically improve the number of therapies that get to patients … we’ll see a lot of new medicines coming out – and medicines more specific to a disease and an individual rather than medicines that are generic in terms of treatment of everyone who has the disorder.”
Dr. Minor concludes that AI is “a transformative moment in human history,” creating the most radical and “most positive transformation in health care since the introduction of antibiotics.”
This is going to dramatically alter medicine forever.
Keep in mind, creating a new effective drug in the past took up to 10 years and could cost up to $12 billion.
But now, with artificial intelligence, it could take months and cost a fraction of that amount.
And there is one particular company at the forefront of all of this.
