Google deepmind ceo predicts ai revolution in healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize healthcare, according to Google DeepMind's CEO, Demis Hassabis. He believes AI will drastically accelerate drug development. AI may even eradicate diseases entirely in the future. Hassabis cites increased global investment, talent influx, and societal focus as drivers. These factors contribute to the rapid advancement of AI in medicine. He emphasizes that understanding proteins is crucial for disease treatment. DeepMind's AlphaFold mapped over 200 million protein structures in a year. Traditional methods would have taken billions of years to achieve this. Hassabis envisions AI potentially eradicating all diseases within ten years.
