“Just in the past few months we’ve seen progress in AI capabilities that has left even skeptics impressed. A "golden decade" one researcher called it. A scientist at the Max Planck Institute said, "This will change medicine. It will change research. It will change bioengineering. It will change everything." This year’s State of AI report shows a hundred slides of accelerating progress. In 2020 there wasn’t a single drug in clinical trials that had been developed using an AI-first approach. Today there are 18. An AI system developed by vaccine pioneer BioNTech successfully identified numerous high-risk Covid variants months before the WHO’s tracking system flagged them. Ukraine has used AI to reduce the time needed to order an artillery strike from 20 minutes to less than 60 seconds.” https://lnkd.in/g8X2FMSe
