Finding appropriate medicine to treat cases such as anxiety and depression may be difficult. The doctor will start with one medicine that is usually carried well and effectively, but he cannot do anything for you-or has terrible side effects. Sometimes it takes months of experience and error to find something that works.
It is an incredibly common issue. Dr. Presilla Chan told an audience in the south by southwest on Wednesday that it could be simplified if doctors can examine medicines against the artificial intelligence model of your cells and systems. Chan, who co -founded Chan Zuckerberg Initiative She said with her husband, founder of Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, that the use of artificial intelligence may be the following large jump for biomedical research.
“Hope is with these models, we will be able to answer some of the most difficult questions in biology,” Chan said.
Artificial intelligence was a hot theme for everyone from the moment of fulfillment with the emergence of ChatgPt for the first time Broadcast In late 2022, this week, it was a great axis in SXSW in Austin, Texas, with talks around it Confidentand Accountability and The future of work.
Last year, two scientists in the unit of artificial intelligence from Google He won the Nobel Prize In chemistry for their work using artificial intelligence to predict the structure of proteins.
As for how this technology is developing science and medicine, it may take years, if not contracts. The artificial intelligence models may accelerate this actual research of the laboratory, and not replace them. But Chan sees a world of possibilities.
What we do not know about ourselves
Chan, a pediatrician, said a lot of how the human body works still evading the understanding of science. Certainly, two decades have passed since researchers have broken the human genome, but genetics only provides a road map. Chan used analogy of the LEGO group of Millennium Falcon of Star Wars – the genetic symbol is the instruction package. However, we still do not know how individual pieces collect to form the space ship. And when it does not seem to be a part that fits properly, this is the place where medicine needs to intervene.
In addition to gaps in scientific knowledge about biology, we also have a limited understanding of how biology work within individuals. Based on a small number of samples, we have extrapolation on how the body works, but this is a small group of data that does not approach the massive diversity of humanity.
The artificial intelligence model can help describe what is happening in individual cells – allocating medicine so that your treatment differs from me.
“If we build the correct data and artificial intelligence models, we can better understand what makes us healthy and what makes us sick,” Chan said.
Can Amnesty International accelerate biomedical research?
Current search techniques are also slow and expensive in developing new drugs and treatments. Ideas should be tested in a physical laboratory environment, which requires a huge amount of time and resources.
Chan does not suggest eliminating the current “wet” physical “wet” research. However, the Automated-Automated Automatic Terquita Form-can help identify drug candidates with the highest possibility of work, which means that it may require tests in the real world to reach a practical solution.
The models will not always be correct. They will present unimaginable solutions and ideas, and perhaps physically impossible ideas, but for this reason there must be a candidate for real human scientists who address the ideas produced by the model.
“It will not give us the full answer,” Chan said. “I don’t want you to think that scientists will talk to a model and get all the answers they need.”
Chan said machines can help scientists find better questions. “It will be the birth of the hypothesis,” she said.
While many companies and researchers are looking for ways to use artificial intelligence in hospitals and patient therapy, Chan’s focus on enhancing basic biological research that makes future progress possible. Amnesty International sees a potential big jump for science, such as invention of microscope, X -rays, magnetic resonance imaging, or human genome sequence.
“Health and Medicine, moving in leaps,” she said. “There are contracts when the research stumbles, then someone invents a new technology completely changes how we see the human body.”
