Google DeepMind CEO and Nobel chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis shared his bold vision in a recent '60 Minutes' interview: AI could bring about the end of disease, possibly within a decade. He highlighted how AI might slash drug development timelines from years to mere months or weeks. While optimistic about AI's role in scientific discovery, Hassabis stressed the importance of safety, expressing concern about bad actors and the autonomy of advanced systems. His remarks sparked praise across the AI community, with Perplexity AI's Aravind Srinivas calling Hassabis a "genius" who deserves full backing to pursue this mission.

Why It Matters:

Google DeepMind has already revolutionized biology with AlphaFold 3, accurately predicting protein structures and transforming how scientists approach disease treatment. These AI-driven breakthroughs have fast-tracked research, unlocking possibilities once thought decades away. Given this track record, maybe we should believe Hassabis's bold claim about curing diseases within a decade. It's a future worth watching closely — exciting times ahead for humanity.
