Village Global Chairman Reid Hoffman on what AI could mean for cancer treatment:
"The typical thing in cancer is if you're lucky enough and it's limited to an organ, you can do surgery. When it gets past that, you basically go into chemo. The problem with chemo is you're poisoning yourself intensively with radiation with the hope that you kill the cancer before you kill you."
"This is like medieval leeches. It's all we got, and you can sometimes survive from it."
"AI is almost like a superpowered search engine. Part of what you're searching for is what are the right molecular structures that can allow us to do cures for things that are fatal."
"Curing fatalities is an ultimate positive humanism transformation of life.”
