In the seven years, the diamond in the rough, there are a lot of situations where somebody comes with an idea that may be a bit too early to be meaningful or biology changes five years down the road.

is actually an element of it that's positive, but you need to be able to leverage that, which is what I think you're talking about.

Let's just finish on this by asking you, where have you been surprised by the application of AI in the world of drug development and medicine?
