How AI can unlock life-saving cures, with Siddhartha Mukherjee
Discovering new medicines has long been a slow, inefficient, and expensive process. Siddhartha Mukherjee, esteemed cancer biologist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Emperor of All Maladies, is looking to change that. That’s why he partnered with Reid Hoffman to found Manas AI, a company that uses AI to accelerate drug discovery and develop life-saving cures faster and cheaper. He joins Pioneers of AI to discuss which parts of the drug development process are transformed by AI, how generative AI tools based on physics and chemistry differ from other LLMs, and why creating Manas AI was a leap of faith.Learn more about Pioneers of AI: http://pioneersof.ai/Follow Pioneers of AI on all channels: https://linktr.ee/pioneersofaiAt the center of AI is people, so we want to hear from you!

Designing AI for people and the planet, with Aza Raskin
AI is rapidly changing what it means to be human, but is AI development truly human-centered? According to Aza Raskin, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, the answer is largely “no.” The man who invented the “infinite scroll” is now working to understand why the most powerful technology so often fails to prioritize the human experience and our collective well-being. Raskin is also leading the Earth Species Project — using AI to better understand the animals that live alongside us, by unlocking patterns in vast amounts of data on animal communication. He joins Pioneers of AI to talk about both of these dynamic endeavors, with the flourishing of humans and Earth at the core.
