The a16z Show · Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan: How AI Will Cure All Disease · 6 Nov 2025 podcast

We're not gonna cure all diseases, to be clear.

I mean the strategy is to help scientists and the scientific community cure all diseases.

So the strategy is really one

Of accelerating the pace of basic science.

And the theory that we had was if you look at the history of science, most major breakthroughs are basically preceded by the invention of a new tool to observe phenomena in a new way.

So think about things like the microscope, right?

Being able to observe bacteria or other fields, the telescope, or but it's

Well just to use an engineering example, without those kind of tools, it's kind of like you're coding without being able to step through the code and debug things, right?

So our whole approach on this is basically let's help build tools that will accelerate the pace of the whole field.

And I think that there's a niche that I think fits that, because if you look at how funding works in science, the vast majority of funding comes from the government and NIH grants.

It's parceled out into these relatively small grants that allow individual investigators

To investigate usually pretty near-term things.

And the development of these kind of new types of tools, whether it's imaging or building now a lot of AI things like virtual cell models, are longer-term.

oftentimes more expensive to develop.

So think about like on the order of maybe a hundred million to a billion dollars over a ten to fifteen year period.

And then you try to unlock those tools and give them to the scientific community to accelerate the pace.

So that's kind of the the theory.

Yeah, I mean there's also this funny thing where the biology folks, I think, looked at it as if it were crazy ambitious, and then the AI folks are like, well

That's kind of boring.

That's just automatically gonna happen.
