Revelations 13:14 “…by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth…”

Important Takeaways:

• Forget college essays. Artificial intelligence has much bigger fish to fry.
• Biotech firm Insilico Medicine said Monday that it entered an “AI-discovered-and-designed” drug into Phase 2 clinical trials involving human subjects, a first for the industry. The robots: they may not be so bad after all.
• The sheer data-crunching and protein-identifying prowess of such systems could potentially cut development time in half, and development prices by even more, proponents often claim. In plain English: AI can complete complex math problems far faster than human scientists ever could. Thus, AI and ML tools could help develop 50 new drugs worth potentially $50 billion over the next decade, according to a Morgan Stanley report.
• The entire industry has already bet big on AI start-ups like Insilico:
• Investment in AI-led drug discovery hit roughly $25 billion in 2022, according to research firm Deep Pharma Intelligence, roughly triple what it was four years earlier. That contrasts with a nearly 37% year-over-year decline in VC investment in US and Europe biotech firms in 2022, according to EY.
• “Every major pharma company has invested in partnerships with at least one, if not multiple, AI companies,” Eric Topol, Scripps Research Translational Institute founder and director, told the FT.
