Off topic, but whenever I think about this, I find myself thinking that what the world really needs is next-level human/medicinal modeling. Imagine if human trials didn't have to happen in order to know the long-term effects (and in a fraction of the time)!
- ETH_start 4y agoI'm pretty sure AI could do this with enough data.
- tsol 4y agoI'm sure. But it's data we don't even have right now. We don't even know every chemical that naturally occurs in the body, how are we supposed to predict how they could interact with novel chemicals? Some day, though, it may be possible. There was a point where people couldn't imagine these image generation AIs working
- ETH_start 4y agoYea, data collection is the key here. If we had unobstrusive sensors that people could wear and embed in their body, to continuously measure a multitide of biometrics, that would greatly empower bio-AI systems.
- giantg2 4y agoI'd imagine we'd have to have complete knowledge of the human body to completely replace human testing. There's a hell of a lot that we don't know, especially when it comes to why or how things work.
