At Davos 2026, SandboxAQ's VP of Growth and Ecosystems Bill Fitzgerald speaks with Dr. Charles Roberts, Partner at Arc Ventures, about the accelerating impact of AI on science, investing, and real-world innovation.
In this forward-looking conversation, they explore:
-Why AI may unlock the biggest scientific breakthroughs of the next decade
-The rise of AI-for-science companies in biology, materials, and chemistry
-The importance of real-world benchmarks beyond internet-trained models
-How AI could improve itself through recursive code generation
-The balance between mega labs, open ecosystems, and collaboration
-Why foundational scientific infrastructure (like genomic and biobank projects) enables breakthrough innovation
Charlie argues that we are still in the early innings — and that the convergence of AI with real-world validation in labs and materials science could reshape industries from healthcare to energy.
