AI should be viewed as a tool for improvement, much like electricity transformed our lives without disrupting older technologies like candles. AI will enhance our education, communication, work, and healthcare. In the coming years, we will likely sequence many human genomes and match them with clinical data, revolutionizing healthcare and potentially curing diseases like cancer.
Currently, the cost of genetic sequencing is around $300 per person. I’m involved in liquid biopsy initiatives that focus on early cancer detection, using AI to assess risk levels. The future of AI, genetics, and clinical data is promising, and I firmly believe that, like electricity, AI will ultimately save more lives than it risks.
