Drug discovery and target identification is a notoriously expensive and slow process: Preclinical drug development (the research stage that precedes clinical trials) can sometimes take more than five years and cost billions of dollars. Even the experimental drugs that make it to clinical trials tend to flame out quickly. Around…

The popularity of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 has taken the world by storm, with enterprises integrating generative AI models into business workflows and governments already taking steps to regulate the technology.

In 2016, neural network pioneer and Turing Award winner Geoff Hinton made a bold prediction: “We should stop training radiologists now,” he said. “It is just completely obvious deep learning is going to do better than radiologists.” Fast forward nearly a decade, and you’ll notice that while AI and machine…

Healthcare systems across the world are under stress. The grinding nature of the pandemic put many hospitals on the back foot, and the aging population’s growing need for care has led to healthcare staff and physician shortages across Europe, the U.S., Canada, and beyond. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools were designed…

ChatGPT and Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing search engine took the world by storm earlier this year, with fascinated observers feeding endless prompts into the models — sometimes with decidedly weird results. But the pace of modern change is relentless — even over the space of just a few months — and…

While ninety-one percent of healthcare executives revealed in a recent survey that improving the patient experience is their №1 priority, many health systems unfortunately still fall woefully short. Indeed, another poll found that nearly half of more than 2,000 respondents had experienced difficulties scheduling appointments with their healthcare providers, and…

The pharmaceutical supply chain is incredibly complex: From sourcing and supplying materials to manufacturing and distribution of incredibly sensitive products that could be rendered inactive without the right environmental conditions. This complexity — and the dependence of governments and populations on the pharmaceutical industry’s life-saving products — are why pharma…

In late 2022 Clifford Stermer posted a video on TikTok. The short clip showed the rheumatologist typing a prompt into OpenAI’s ChatGPT. …
