Today, what we need is to do the best we can with what's known today.
But the path to a cure will be to understand all these unique cases and to have a new approach
model for medical knowledge that's not depending on a 20-year path to learn one thing, but where we can take all this diverse data and from all these diverse, unique cases and learn the connections and learn the pathways and build a new kind of medical knowledge from that.
That's awesome.
We got the .com, not the .
Not just the .ai.
There's a lot of things going on in medicine, especially with cancer, where it's kind of a bold statement to say our real mission is the cure.
And I'm like, look, nobody wants more management tools for the disease.
What we actually want is a cure.
But the pathway there goes through doing a better job of managing it, understanding what people are doing, getting the data, because that's where we're going to get closer and closer to a cure.
So the ultimate moonshot is actually to advance the cures.
I mean, President Nixon declared the war on cancer in 1971.
And that was if we could put a man on the moon, certainly we can cure cancer by 1975.
Well, we haven't been in here for a minute, haven't we?
Yeah, we've made a lot of progress.
But, you know, the complexity is beyond human scale at this point.
Yeah.
And this is the first time we've had a tool that can really help us master the complexity, and that's AI.
So our mission is to be at the forefront of applying AI to cancer and to advance the whole field.
