Can AI Really Cure Cancer?

Some of the brightest minds in Silicon Valley are putting serious weight behind a bold idea. Artificial Intelligence might not just change the way we live or work. It might help cure cancer.

Demis Hassabis, the founder of DeepMind, recently shared his belief on 60 Minutes. He said AI could potentially cure not just cancer but all deadly diseases within the next ten years.

This is not just hype. Demis is not a headline-chasing futurist. He is a renowned neuroscientist and Nobel Prize recipient for his work on AlphaFold, the breakthrough that solved one of biology’s biggest mysteries...protein folding.

Reid Hoffman agrees it is possible. His opinion carries weight. Reid founded LinkedIn, co-authored a book called Super Agency, and is now part of Manas AI, a company aiming to revolutionize treatment for rare diseases.

Even if some think Demis’ timeline is too optimistic, there is little disagreement about AI’s potential. It is already changing how we research, diagnose, and approach rare illnesses.

This is more than tech talk. It is a reason for hope. The idea that AI could make disease less mysterious and treatments more precise is something worth watching, investing in, and getting excited about.

We are not just building smarter machines. We are building smarter ways to heal.
