Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

And so we know those drugs are safe because they're already being deployed and they've already gone through the clinical trial process and they're being deployed by the and stamped by the FDA for safety and efficacy in humans.

Right.

There's being used to treat another disease.

And so this company used all this data to go back and say, oh, these same drugs could be used and have a higher degree of outcome to actually help with Alzheimer's and dementia, which is really interesting.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

That's huge.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

And so think about that.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

We have so much data already that if we can start looking at using AI and then eventually using quantum plus AI,

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

we can simulate so many different disease states and so many different potential editing outcomes and different drug trials that we probably have.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

It reminds me of that story where, I don't know if you read this like five years ago, where NASA had already found other exoplanets and it was just in the data, but they never had the compute power to go back and look through it.

Digital Social Hour

And I think that exists probably for human healthcare as well.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

And we're trying to, and that's another big, this is a great question.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

Most people don't think of that as a data problem, but like all the work that we do for Colossal that has an application to conservation, we open source for the world, right?

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

We try to work with our partners.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

We have about 60 different conservation partners all around the world.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

But what's really interesting about that is that some of those

Digital Social Hour

projects that while they're helping to save existing species, like using AI for understanding socialization and migratory patterns in elephants.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

Well, that's helping elephants today from a conservation perspective, but also we're taking that same data and applying it to how do we then build synthetic herds for woolly mammoths, right?

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

And so that's what's pretty cool is like the data that we learn from the data that we garner today

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

from using these tools for Asian elephants and African elephants can then apply, build this kind of this base case model of around how do we rewild mammoths long-term.

Digital Social Hour
Ben Lamm: The Truth About Jurassic Park & Real De-Extinction | DSH #1586

Yeah.
