I doubt it'll happen this fast, but I hope computer simulations accelerate the drug discovery process so dramatically that regenerative medicine is finally widespread in hospitals next year.

It won’t because it has to make it through clinical trials. It might bring a lot more drugs/therapies into the pipeline though

Computer simulations will accelerate clinical trials, but probably not fast enough for 2023.

Yeah but to make it to hospitals they need to go through 3 phases of human clinical trials by current standards, which can take up to a decade.
In the future we may be able to simulate human trials but that technology is not present currently

Also, beyond technology there's legality. And those things move much slower.

That’s why reforming the FDA needs to be priority #1. The good news is that we just made huge progress regarding the FDA process. It is now a lot easier to skip animal trials and do human trials.

Yes in silico models will help greatly with this. With AGI we could develop in silico models pretty fast

Are you … not familiar with the reasons why we do animal trials? o_O

I am; but having safe medicines be able to go straight to human trials is still huge

All our systems that a slow human in the process are ripe for AI. AI probably won't take over completely but if AI can do the job 10 to 100x faster, the number of people you need to do a job shrinks dramatically.

I agree.. but I think id rather have AI reviewing scans and results first

Why would you doubt it happening fast AI doesn’t seem to be progressing slowly at the moment
