AI Will Help Bring About The Bio Age Too - Video Clips
Watch the videos of short talks by a dozen top experts as they explain how AI could greatly accelerate progress in bioengineering and healthcare
This post is the most in-depth way to absorb all we learned in our most recent Meeting of the Minds in the series The AI Age Begins that focused on the question: How can AI accelerate progress in bioengineering and healthcare?
We again gathered about 250 experts and innovators in the Shack15 club at the top of the Ferry Building in the heart of San Francisco to help answer that question. We asked a dozen of the most remarkable of them to give their answer in just 5 minutes each before opening up the conversation to all.
You can read my essay version that synthesizes what we learned and quotes many of the speakers with links to their full videos. But with the videos below you can hear each of them make their full case from start to finish, in the order that they presented. My introduction to the conversation is in the video above. Watching all of these videos is the closest thing to actually being in the room that evening.
All these videos can also be watched via the full playlist in their native YouTube, and you can see similar playlists from our previous events on the Reinvent Futures YouTube channel. No matter where you live in the world, you can learn about the latest thinking about how AI will supercharge the life sciences and the world of biology. Hang on for this ride.
