an experimentation technique which allows for rapidly poking and prodding at huge volumes of previously untapped data to discover facts and relationships about the complexity of our world. Rather than poking and prodding at genes, cells or molecules to see how they interact in labs, “data scientists” use ML and AI to more rapidly discover relationships that would be difficult for humans to “see”.
use AI for drug discovery” is just as silly as one who says, “we experiment with molecules for drug discovery.” It does not mean anything. If someone said “you should invest in my company because we know how to culture bacteria" you'd look at them like they were delusional. The same should be done with entrepreneurs who use “AI” and “ML” as if they are the ends, rather than the means to the ends.

like: • Which monumental tasks is their novel AI eliminating? • Which significant roles in life sciences or healthcare are no longer necessary because of their novel AI? • Can their AI speed the delivery of patient-facing innovations, improve post-market quality, or speed up regulatory approvals? If you think of AI as a gold rush, pick-axes and shovels are worth investing in if they can be shown to add to the considerable work being done by open source software produced by Microsoft, Google, and others.
