Anthropic CEO says AI could cure most diseases within decade
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argued in a post on X and an earlier essay that AI can do far more than analyse data and could perform, direct, and improve many tasks biologists now do. He predicted powerful AI could roughly 10x the rate of biological discoveries, giving the next 50–100 years of progress in 5–10 years. Amodei cited personal urgency after losing his father before direct-acting antivirals (sofosbuvir) cured about 95 percent of hepatitis C patients. Former DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis made similar claims about drastically shortening drug development timelines.
AI could accelerate biological discoveries roughly tenfold within years
