Cancer will be gone within a decade. Alzheimer's is a difficult disease to erase memories. People will not be affected by deadly diseases that have become a part of daily life like heart disease. The claim is made by Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, one of the top companies in the technology world.
According to him, if used in the right way, artificial intelligence or AI can transform the unreal into reality, which mankind could not solve even in the last thousand years. Amodei says, if used in the right way, artificial intelligence can turn the impossible into the possible. Dario Amodei is not alone. Tech leaders like Google's AI chief Demis Hassabis and Tesla chief Elon Musk also agree with the anthropic boss. According to Demis, with the help of AI technology, it is possible to reduce a decade of 'drug discovery' to just a few weeks. Citing Google's AlphaFold, which has mapped more than 200 million protein structures, as evidence, he claimed that all disease could be eradicated within a decade.
On the other hand, Dario Amodei, CEO of Athpeak, says that artificial intelligence can transform the impossible into the possible if done right. While AI executives and visionaries are dreaming of a disease-free world in ten years, drugmakers are calling this timeframe 'absolutely baseless.' Executive Chairman of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Jeff Leyden, said that they tested 10,000 drug compounds with the help of about 50 AI companies and found that AI could not produce any effective drugs on its own.
