There's a phrase, Pat, if you've never skied, you can't talk about skiing.
So in other words, if you're a doctor, you'll still have to do the other stuff as well, to be a doctor anyway, and then bring AI in as a tool that you use.
You still need to do an experiment.
And the big paper this week, but on this actually, paper in Nature, where they use an AI system to read the literature on a topic.
It was a type of blindness actually called Age-Related Macular Degeneration, AMD.
Read all the papers itself.
It took six minutes to read the literature.
Came up with an idea.
design the experiment.
Now, a human did the experiment, put the data back into the AI system and find the account of conclusion.
And they found a new drug, actually, it's called Repastudil, which could be useful in AMD.
Now, they reckon, Pat, it took the AI system two hours to do all that.
It would have taken a human 424 hours to read the literature and design and interpret.
All that part of it would have taken a lot longer than the AI machine.
Now, of course, the drug isn't on the market yet.
It's still very early.
But talk about speeding up the discovery process.
Yeah, now, one issue is it is used in the literature.
There's stuff there where they can read all these papers and all this historical stuff, and then get an idea.
That's great to me.
